It must be placed on record that what is today the University of Uyo passed through several metamorphoses. It grew from a Teacher's College (TC) to an Advanced Teacher's College (ATC), College of Education (COE), which became an affiliate of the University of Port Harcourt to run degree programmes at a State University, University of Cross River (UNICROSS), and then to its present status in 1991.

Academic activities commenced during the 1991/92 academic session. The University of Uyo has 13 faculties, the postgraduate school and the school of Continuing Education.[1]

Professor Enefiok Essien is the immediate past Vice-Chancellor.[2] In 2015 the Emir of Hadejia, Adamu Maje was appointed Chancellor.[3]

Professor Nyaudoh Ukpabio Ndaeyo emerged as the 8th substantive Vice Chancellor of the University of Uyo in 2020. [4]
