Bingham University, established by the ECWA church, is located in Karu, Nasarawa State. While it is technically in Nasarawa, it is geographically very close to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, making it a popular choice for FCT residents.
The university is situated along the Abuja-Keffi Expressway in Karu, Nasarawa State. It is a massive landmark that you cannot miss when driving out of Abuja towards the east.
From the city center, drive through Nyanya and Mararaba. Continue on the Keffi road. After Mararaba and the busy Karu market area, you will see Bingham University on your right-hand side. The journey from the city center takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the notorious 'Mararaba Traffic'.
If you are coming from Keffi or Jos, the university will be on your left as you approach the Abuja boundary. Look out for the large ECWA/Bingham signposts.
| Start Point | Mode | Est. Time | Est. Cost (β¦) |
|-------------|------|-----------|---------------|
| Abuja Central| Taxi | 50 mins | 2,500 - 4,500 |
| Mararaba | Keke/Bus| 15 mins | 300 - 700 |
| Keffi | Car | 30 mins | 1,000 - 2,000 |
| Jos | Bus | 3.5 hrs | 4,000 - 6,500 |
Traffic on the Abuja-Keffi expressway can be extremely heavy during morning and evening rush hours. We recommend traveling mid-day (11 AM to 3 PM) to avoid being stuck in Mararaba traffic for hours.
Bingham University, established by the ECWA church, is a prominent faith-based institution located in Karu. It is dedicated to providing high-quality education that integrates academic rigor with spiritual growth.
