Akwa Ibom state university was established by the Akwa Ibom state government. It receives its funding and management from the state. The concept of Akwa Ibom State University started in October, 2000, when the State Government inaugurated a Committee for its establishment. The Committee which consisted of academicians, technical experts and professionals submitted an interim report to the then State Governor in April 2001 and a final report in September, 2001. The result fostered the creation of this university.

It adjoins the confluence of Ikot Akpaden – Eastern Obolo road and Eket – Ikot Abasi highway. The next campus is located at Obio Akpa, Oruk Anam Local Government Area, along Abak – Ikot Okoro Road.
