The Unit came into prominence when Council appointed the first Director in the person of Dr. Tukur A. Muhammad Baba in 1992.  Hitherto the functions of the Unit were carried out in the office of the then only one Deputy, Vice-Chancellor. when Dr. Baba left to take up another job with the Nigerian Minting and Printing Corporation Lagos, just after about two years stay, the Unit was almost forgotten. Dr. P. T. Mirchaulum who was subsequently appointed in 1995 by the Governing Council retired in 2004. Thereafter Dr. Vandwhe Vandu Apagu, PhD has been the acting Director since 2005. Based on the NUC directives, Abuja, the name of the Unit has been modified to conspicuously include Quality Assurance in 2005.
