Paul University
Paul University, Awka (PUA) is located in Awka, Anambra State in Nigeria. It is a private Christian University. It was founded in 2009 by Bishops of the five ecclesiastical provinces of the Anglican Church East of the Niger to provide undergraduate training in Arts, Natural and Applied Sciences, Social Sciences and Management.[1] The university which is fully residential has an estimated enrollment of around 400 students (expected to reach 3,500) and has replaced St Paul's University College which was founded in 1904 by the Church Missionary Society of the Church of England to train church workers and teachers.[2] Although, Paul University Awka is a Private University, the Anambra State government under Governor Peter Obi donated cash and vehicles for its infrastructural upgrade and development.[3]

Prof Obiora Nwosu, is the Vice Chancellor while Prof Chinyere Stella Okunna is the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) and Prof Godwin Onu is Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), in Adjunct capacity.[4]
The first Board of Trustee was headed by a former Vice President of Nigeria, Dr Alex Ekwueme (GCON) who also built the Administrative Offices which houses the Senate Chamber.

Library
Paul University Library was established on 30 November 2009 to support and facilitate the teaching, learning, research and recreational activities of the University Community. The library inherited the collection of the former St. Paul's College, Awka, which is expanding and broadening as the College Library transforms into a University Library, balancing Sciences with earlier emphasis on the Arts, Social and Management Sciences.[8]
The University Library also has an E-Library section. This is a section of the library in which the collections are stored in electronic media formats (as opposed to print, or other media) and accessible through computers. These are made available and accessible to the students and staff of the academic community.[9]
