For the benefit of those not very friendly with history, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria is a federal government research university based in Zaria, Kaduna State Nigeria. It was founded on 4 October 1962, as the University of Northern Nigeria and named after the then premier of northern Nigeria Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto.

It is the largest university in Nigeria and the second-largest in Africa. Like we say here, An Abusite (graduate of ABU) is naturally ahead of the rest.

The university is not just large by size, it has one of the highest numbers of courses available. About 202 Ph.D. courses are currently run by ABU Zaria under the school of Postgraduate Studies
