Marien Ngouabi University
The University of Brazzaville was founded on 4 December 1971[2] amidst desires to assert the country's sovereignty.[citation needed] Following the assassination of President Marien Ngouabi on 18 March 1977, the university was renamed in his honor on 28 July 1977.[3] The University of Brazzaville was a continuation of the Foundation for Higher Education in Central Africa (1961), which in turn developed out of the Center for Higher Education in Brazzaville (1959).It has a number of separate campuses, each with individual libraries (ten different ones in 1993), in Brazzaville and the rest of the country.This Republic of the Congo university, college or other education institution article is a stub.
