UNIVERSITY PRESS PLC.

University Press PLC, one of Nigeria's foremost publishers, originated in 1949 as the Nigerian branch of the British Oxford University Press (OUP), initially focusing on selling Oxford books within Nigeria. Over time, the company evolved to produce books locally, establishing a Nigerian unit in Oxford for editing and publishing titles tailored to the Nigerian market. In 1978, it was incorporated as a public liability company, changing its name to University Press Limited, and subsequently became listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The company's head office and a major warehouse are situated in Ibadan, Nigeria, serving as central hubs for its extensive operations. The core business of University Press PLC revolves around the printing, publishing, distribution, and sale of a wide array of books and educational materials. Its product offerings span educational curriculum titles for pre-primary, primary, junior and senior secondary, and tertiary levels, aligning with educational council curricula. Beyond academic texts, the company also publishes general interest books, including dictionaries, World Bank publications, and works on language and culture. University Press PLC maintains a significant presence across Nigeria, with numerous area offices, depots, showrooms, and representatives in major cities, and extends its market reach into the West African sub-region, notably with a presence in Accra, Ghana.
