Historyedit
The institution was established as the Advanced Teachers College Akwanga in September 1976, by Plateau Stateedict No. 5 in 1978. The edict was then repealed in favour of Nasarawa State Edict No. 16 of 1996 which came into effect on 1 October 1996, after the state was created from Plateau State, by the Abacha government, which transferred the responsibilities of the institution to Nasarawa state government, as a result of the location of the institution in the new Nasarawa state.
The Advanced Teachers College began academic activities at a temporary site in Jos town with a campus in Akwanga. The Advanced Teachers College later moved from Jos to its permanent site in Akwanga, on 1 September 1985.[2]
Objectives of the institutionedit
Objectives that the college was established to take care of as stated in the edict establishing the college are:
To offer courses leading to the Nigeria Certificate in Education through a three-year academic and professional course which, on successful completion, candidates qualify as teachers in primary schools and secondary and teachers training colleges.
To act as a centre for research into the various areas of educational theory and practice;
To mount from time to time in-service vacation courses for serving teachers.[3][4]
