NUM

About us

Newgate University Minna (NUM) was established on the principles of equal opportunity, equity and justice in an environment where modern technology is used to nurture skills in critical thinking, creativity and problem solving in the students.

NUM is a place where ideas germinate, where applications grow out of ideas and where innovation flourishes in an atmosphere of intellectual challenge and freedom. To this end, the University guides and encourage each student, staff and faculty to examine their values in the light of changing technology and value systems in society and apply these values in acquisition and application of knowledge to better their own well-being, as well as their communities.

NUM is guided by its motto “Explore to Excel” which underscores its commitment to creating an environment conducive to maximizing students’ intellectual potential. The institution aims to achieve this by offering a solid teaching and learning foundation, empowering graduates to succeed in their chosen careers. Additionally, NUM seeks to ignite curiosity and foster a spirit of discovery among students through research opportunities.
