About the Faculty of Arts
When the defunct University of Cross River State came into being in 1983, the Faculty of Arts was one of its foundation faculties, with Professor Solomon O. Unoh as first dean. In October 1991 the Federal Government took over the state university and renamed it the University of Uyo. The faculty aims to provide a liberal education that develops reasoning, communication and analytical skills alongside the appreciation of language, history and culture.
