History

The formation of Nasrul-Lahi-l-Fatih Society of Nigeria NASFAT — the proprietor of Fountain University — was originally focused on prayer meetings for the Muslim elites, with a view to creating opportunity for them to, interact and rub minds with Islamic scholars and to enhance their knowledge about the principles and practices of Islam.

The desire of NASFAT to establish a university was borne out of its education policy and plan enunciated at its strategic retreat in Akodo, Lagos, in 2000. From this humble beginning, the society started a systematic process which led to the hosting of an academic summit of 30 distinguished academic personalities from where an 18-person planning committee emerged in January 2004.<mapframe latitude="8.695918" longitude="4.560699" zoom="2" width="243" height="161" />Fountain University was granted an operational license as a Private University on May 17, 2007, by the federal government on the recommendations of the National Universities Commission. Following this achievement, a Fountain University strategic implementation committee was set up to serve as “in loco Council” to actualize the birth of the university. This committee worked tirelessly to put in place the facilities for the university to take-off. The committee was dissolved in September 2007 upon the inauguration of the Governing Council led by Professor N.O. Adedipe. The first Governing Council completed its first four years in September 2011 after which it was reconstituted.
