Gaining grounds and popularity in the country at large, Unity Hall on October 16, 1968, admitted its first batch of students. The idea for the establishment of the Hall was to reflect the collection of good visions of Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Nyere Julius of Tanzania of the time of formation of the organization of Africa unity and also as a sign of peace and unity of the African countries. Thus, the idea of the name for the hall stemmed from Africa unity.
Unity Hall is the largest hall in the sub-Saharan region. It has an original accommodation capacity of 448 rooms but presently has 36 extra flats. The large facility is popularly referred to as “The Twin Towers” owing to the design of the structure.
