About the Faculty of Law
The Faculty of Law started in October 1985 as a department in the Faculty of Social Sciences of the then University of Cross River State, taking over the staff and students of the former Ime Umanah College of Law, Abak. It became a full faculty in 1986, moved to the Ikot Osurua campus in October 1987, and graduated its first set of students in 1989.
