Established in 2012, McPherson University (McU) is named after the late Aimee Semple McPherson – the founder of Foursquare Gospel Church, whose vision and mission has always been to impact life through leadership, development and service.[1][2][3][4]
McU is fast taking shape as the hub of intellectual activities. The University is equipped with modern ICT facilities. The institution is also known for academic discipline, moral probity and its competitive edge which is revolutionizing the Nigerian education.
The Ivory tower is an initiative of the Foursquare Gospel Church, Nigeria which has taken education as one of its basic foundations with a view to raising balanced "champions" who will lead and bring the desired change.
The University was licensed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) on Tuesday, 28 February 2012, as the 49th private University and 121st University in Nigeria.
The University is located on 122.3 hectares of land at Seriki-Sotayo, near Foursquare City, Ajebo. The site lies approximately within latitude 7º07N and 7º08N and longitude of 3º41N on elevation of between 82m to 109m.
