After the establishment of Church of God Mission in the 1960’s, Archbishop Benson Idahosa received specific directions from God to venture into the area of education, starting from Nursery education to the University level. 
1981 
By 1981, the Vision of Christian Faith University (CFU), which was later renamed Benson Idahosa University, had matured in the mind of the Archbishop. But the actualization of the vision had to be suspended to provide room for the establishment of the highly reputable WORD OF FAITH GROUP OF SCHOOLS (Nursery, primary and secondary) in the 1980s 
1992 
In 1992, Archbishop Benson Idahosa applied to the Honourable Minister of Education for a licence to establish and operate a private University. Following this development, en expert team of Academics and Professionals was set up to prepare a feasibility report, an Academic Brief and develop a Master Plan for the proposed University. Operating as the institute of continuous learning (ICL), the proposed University organised academic and professional programs for young students. 
1998 
Christian Faith University became Benson Idahosa University and F.E.B Idahosa became the university’s second president
