University of Mkar. See more-

The University of Mkar was licensed by the
Federal Government of Nigeria in June, 2005 to
operate as a private University in Nigeria,
providing education to all Nigerians and beyond
without discrimination to race, tribe, political or
religious affiliation. It however, took-off on 4th
October, 2005.
The University is owned by the NKST Church, an
offshoot of the Dutch Reformed Church/Sudan
United Mission of South Africa and North
America respectively. The Dutch Reformed
Missionaries of South Africa came to Tivland in
1911 to evangelize, establishing many churches
and schools. Later, they transferred the work to
their partners, the Sudan United Mission (SUM)
of North America who eventually handed the
work over to the indigenes under the name
“Nongu u Kristu u Sudan hen Tiv” (NKST) or the
Church of Sudan among the Tiv.
The NKST has carefully followed the footsteps of
her founders. Thus, in June 2005 the church was
licensed to operate a private Christian University
in Nigeria. unimkar.edu.ng/about/brief-history.html
