Motto: A Key to Academic Success

Brief Histroy: The University of Mkar was licensed by the Federal Government of Nigeria in June, 2005 to operate as a private University in Nigeria, providing education to all Nigerians and beyond without discrimination to race, tribe, political or religious affiliation. It however, took-off on 4th October, 2005. The University is owned by the NKST Church, an offshoot of the Dutch Reformed Church/Sudan United Mission of South Africa and North America respectively. The Dutch Reformed Missionaries of South Africa came to Tivland in 1911 to evangelize, establishing many churches and schools. Later, they transferred the work to their partners, the Sudan United Mission (SUM) of North America who eventually handed the work over to the indigenes under the name “Nongu u Kristu u Sudan hen Tiv” (NKST) or the Church of Sudan among the Tiv. The NKST has carefully followed the footsteps of her founders. Thus, in June 2005 the church was licensed to operate a private Christian University in Nigeria.
