Paul University, Awka (PUA) is located in Awka, Anambra State in Nigeria. It is a private Christian University. It was founded in 2009 by Bishops of the five ecclesiastical provinces of the Anglican Church East of the Niger to provide undergraduate training in Arts, Natural and Applied Sciences, Social Sciences and Management.^[1]

The university which is fully residential has an estimated enrollment of around 400 students (expected to reach 3,500) and has replaced St Paul's University College which was founded in 1904 by the Church Missionary Society of the Church of England to train church workers and teachers.^[2]

Although Paul University Awka is a Private University, the Anambra State government under Governor Peter Obi donated cash and vehicles for its infrastructural upgrade and development.^[3] Again in 2025, Mr Peter Obi also made a donation of N30 million naira to Paul University. He stated as he donated, “by investing in education, we unlock the immense potential of our people to become productive members of society and, thus, pave the way for sustainable and inclusive progress."^[4]

Paul University has affiliate institutions like Institute of Theology, which is headed by the Director, Ven Dr Rex Kanu. Prof Obiora Nwosu, is the Vice Chancellor while Prof Chinyere Stella Okunna is the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) and Prof Godwin Onu is Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), in Adjunct capacity.^[5]

The first Board of Trustee was headed by a former Vice President of Nigeria, Dr Alex Ekwueme (GCON). He built the Administrative Offices in which the Senate Chamber is housed.
