About Blessings University of Excellence

Our History

Blessings University of Excellence (BLUE) is a private higher education institution owned by Bread of Life Church International (BLCI). The University traces its origins to the Bread of Life School of Ministry, which was established to provide structured theological and ministerial training and to equip individuals for effective service in the Church and wider community.

Building on this foundation and recognising the growing need for quality, holistic higher education, the institution transitioned and was established as Blessings University of Excellence in 2018. This marked an important milestone in its development, expanding its mandate beyond ministerial training to provide higher education and professional training across a broader range of disciplines.

From its inception, BLUE has been guided by a commitment to academic excellence, professional competence, ethical leadership, integrity and holistic human development. The University seeks to develop graduates who are not only academically and professionally competent, but also morally responsible, innovative, productive and responsive to the needs of society.

Our Mandate
Blessings University of Excellence was established with the mandate to provide quality higher education that contributes to the development of a competent, productive and morally sound workforce capable of responding to the socio-economic, technological, professional and spiritual needs of humanity, both locally and globally.

The University is committed to creating an environment where knowledge, research, innovation, professional development and values-based education work together to prepare graduates who can make a meaningful contribution to their communities and the world.
