Kings University was established in 2015 by King’s Ministries Trust A.K.A. Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), a Protestant Evangelical Ministry. Kings University was granted a provisional license by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the National Universities Commission on March 4, 2015, and subsequently commenced academic activities on 1st February 2016.

The University is anchored on a philosophy of excellence in teaching and research, underpinned by a set of shared core values which include but not limited to a commitment to excellence, respect for academic freedom, a culture of performance, rewarding achievement, engagement of all staff and students and fostering partnerships. At Kings University, we are poised to create leaders and transform the minds of the coming generation to change society. 

As a faith-based institution of higher learning, Kings University is committed to helping students grow in Christ-likeness. Our staff is therefore expected to be servant-leaders in the course of all interactions with students and to exhibit leadership values of compassion, humility, and discipline. Students at all levels exhibit satisfactory moral conduct and exemplary behaviour, provide service to the community and engage in sporting/extra-curricular activities in order to become a valuable citizen to the nation.
