I welcome you to the Modibbo Adama University (MAU), Yola formerly known as Federal University of Technology, Yola. I congratulate you for selecting MAU. In doing so, you have become part of a tradition of excellence that is placing MAU in the sport light locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. In fact, since its establishment in 1981, MAU Yola has continued to grow as a centre for teaching and research in Pure and Applied Sciences, Agriculture, Engineering, Management and Information Technology and related disciplines. MAU Yola prides itself in providing a calm university environment that is rich in experience and has continued to attract a large number of applicants within Nigeria and neighbouring countries who annually seek admission into its academic programmes. You are therefore, privileged to be selected to study in this young but potentially great university.
