Pastor and Mrs. Jesse Clifford from England, were the first missionaries to proclaim the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) message in Eastern Nigeria after being sent to work in West Africa by the General Conference (GC) in 1905. After ministering in Sierra Leone and Ghana, the Cliffords arrived Abua in Rivers State in 1920 and later relocated to Oghor-Hill Aba, in 1923 which became the cradle of Adventist work in Eastern Nigeria. With their Bible, a projector, and prayers, they settled in the home of a missionary friend, Pastor A. V. Wilcox. After a long journey and growth, in 2013, the Clifford University was established to be a leading Institution driving the frontiers of knowledge anchored on the values of excellence, service and faith, To prepare graduates who are adequately and holistically empowered and equipped to serve God and humanity. The private university was approved by the government in 2016.
