! jabal ghafur universita Jabal Ghafur sigli This is the oldest private university in Aceh founded by Alm. Nurdin Abdul Rachman (Former Regent of Pidie). At that time Pak Nurdin was studying in Malaysia and because of a heart call he decided to return to Pidie to be appointed as a regent. One of his short-term programs is to educate the Pidie community. Various ways were done to lobby the figures, especially the Acehnese community figures in the overseas.

It turned out that his brilliant idea was fully supported by such figures as Bustanil Arifin, Abdul Gafur, A.R. Ramly and a number of other entrepreneurs. They are willing to be a donor to support Mr. Nurdin's plan. The greeting of the community was extraordinary, even every village in Pidie District contributed funds for the construction of the college, then on the barren limestone hill it stood a magnificent campus with buildings of various models such as the Spanish-style building model, Roman and rumoh Aceh. What a wonderful concept our father was. He was able to juggle the forest into a campus that could be said to be magnificent at the time. Various national and even international events have been held on the campus of UNIGHA, the aim is to introduce it the widespread duty that a university has been born in Aceh.

Due to security reasons, finally the process of teaching and learning activities transferred to schools and shophouses in the city sigli and surrounding areas. Surely the excellence of learning and teaching is no longer as effective as it used to be. The condition of the situation at that time (the conflict) in which all the life lines of the people of Aceh, especially the pidie community both economic, political, security, and paralyzed education, the impact also hampered the smooth learning process at Universiats Jabal Ghafur which is the mobility of the students lecturers, especially lecturers imported from Banda Aceh are hampered due to unfavorable security situation.

After several years of having to condition the teaching and learning process with the situation in Aceh, especially the pidie at the time, Jabal Ghafur University tried to revive, precisely after the peace process in Aceh had been agreed by both parties at the time: RI Government and Aceh Movement Independent. The campus is trying to get back to rise bit by bit. Begin by reactivating the lecture on the main campus, precisely in Gle Gapui.

But it is not easy to change Jabal Ghafur University to be as usual. It takes a long process and time for this campus to walk balanced again. Prof. election Dr. B.I Ansari M.Pd in ​​early January 2011 as the Rector of Jabal University Ghafur (Unigha) Pidie seems to give a little enlightenment to the improvement of UNIGHA both in terms of quality and development reconstruction. Various programs and activities began to be seen. Like the previous student activity is just a symbol, now beranur-ansur began to rise by organizing various activities. Furthermore, the accreditation problem that used to trigger a series of internal campus debates has been resolved to 80%. Some facilities and infrastructure on campus such as mushalla, juree building, and leuguna has been completed in repair. Transparency in terms of both finance SPP and student funds have been answered.

May the name of Jabal Ghafur be re-fragrant as it was known in the 80's and 90's
