History

Chief Edwin K. Clark was the founder of Edwin Clark University. The institution was established in May 2015. It was previously known as Edwin Clark University of Technology but was later changed. [5]

Legacy

Today, Clark continues to be seen by Isaiah Ogedegbe as "a man of noble character" and one that "always fought for the good of his people and was a conscientious defender of their rights". [6] [7] [8]

He is also remembered as "a patriotic Nigerian known for his boldness and truthfulness at all times". [6] [9] He seemed to "have left a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come", as his impact is often considered as transcending "beyond politics into education, healthcare, and community development". [10]

Programmes

The National Universities Commission, NUC, in 2018, after rigorous accreditation, approved the university to run 18 programmes at the institution. [11]
