About Unical

University of Calabar grew out of the Calabar campus of University of Nigeria (UNN), Nigeria which began functioning during the 1973 academic session with 154 students and a small cadre of academic, administration and professional staff.

In April 1975, the Federal Military Government of Nigeria announced that as part of the National Development Plan, seven new Universities were to be established at various locations in the country. The University of Calabar was one of the seven Universities set up under this programme.

Unical Song

Neath the broad expanse of Nigeria's sky,

Stands a School with a vision bright,

Ever holding the banner of knowledge high,

We'll go forward by wisdom's might.


All hail to thee, Alma Mater

We have come from near and far

To unite in Calabar.

May Our quest for Knowledge in every field,

Have its purpose to serve mankind.

With the fervent hope that our efforts yield

Fruit for all who will come behind.

Mighty God, from whom all knowledge comes

Let thy wisdom us o'er flow;

May the knowledge gained in our campus here

Guide our steps as we onward go.
