Paul University, Awka (PUA) is located in Awka, Anambra State in Nigeria. It is a private Christian University. It was founded in 2009 by Bishops of the five ecclesiastical provinces of the Anglican Church East of the Niger to provide undergraduate training in Arts, Natural and Applied Sciences, Social Sciences and Management.[1] The university which is fully residential has an estimated enrollment of around 400 students (expected to reach 3,500) and has replaced St Paul's University College which was founded in 1904 by the Church Missionary Society of the Church of England to train church workers and teachers.[2] Although, Paul University Awka is a Private University, the Anambra State government under Governor Peter Obi donated cash and vehicles for its infrastructural upgrade and development.[3]

Prof Obiora Nwosu, is the Vice Chancellor while Prof Chinyere Stella Okunna is the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) and Prof Godwin Onu is Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), in Adjunct capacity.[4]
