The British colonial government in the country was not keen to invest on higher education. They feared that the increase in knowledge through higher education might intensify the already tested political hustle for self-rule in the country. Therefore , the Nigerians have only left with the hard work of traveling abroad to get higher education. This was also the complaint of the pioneering college and University training artist Nigerian. This paper investigated the eventual establishment of the Art Department of the first highest institution built by their colonial owners in Nigeria. It draws the growth and transformation of the highest pioneering institution in the house of art education in the country. It also looks at the consecutive establishment of many other art departments in the institutions of higher learning in Nigeria's independence posts. It looks at these changes over time in the course content of such art departments that today are completely indigenous. Finally , it concludes with an update to Nigerian Universities , Polytechnics and Colleges of Education that offer art to their programs.
