History

The library collection grew steadily between 1964 and 1967, increasing annually by 20,000 volumes.[2] It was among the few academic libraries in Nigeria to apply ICT components in the 1970s, beginning to automate its serial records in 1975.[4] On March 8, 2009, the library moved to a much larger building whose construction began in 1982.[5]
