About the Pan-Atlantic University.

Pan-Atlantic University is a private, non-profit educational institution in Lagos, Nigeria. It was formerly called Pan-African University and was founded in 2002. The name of the institution was changed in order to avoid confusion with the Pan-African University of the African Union.

Pan-Atlantic University is located in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria with two campuses – Ibeju-Lekki Campus and Ajah Campus. Source: Wikibedia.

The Mission Statement of the University is: “to form competent and committed professionals and encourage them to serve with personal initiative and social responsibility the community in which they work, thereby helping to build a better society in Nigeria and Africa at large“. This dream encapsulates the purpose of the University.

The name University implies a universal mentality: openness to other persons, ideas, areas of knowledge, cultures far and near, without discrimination. Source: PAU Website.
