Recall the 80s
and early 90s when private individuals started the proliferation of private
primary and secondary schools across the country, which led to the death of
public primary and secondary schools, because anybody who managed to get to the
echelon of power was so eager to make quick money by establishing their own
private primary and secondary schools.
The same is
beginning to apply to the nation’s tertiary institutions, as most corrupt
politicians have seen it as a money spinner after looting tax payers’ money
while in office.
Report has it
that, government, on Wednesday endorsed the take-off of eight new private universities
across the nation, while our public universities, polytechnics, and colleges of
education are collapsing daily due to lack of attention and adequate funding by
these cabals. It was during the Federal Executive Council (FEC), that the
decision was made. The FEC meeting was presided over by President Muhammadu
Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
After the
meeting, the Minister of State for Education, Professor Anthony Anwuka made the
decision public through journalists.
Anwuka
recorded the new Universities to include: Anchor University, Ayobo, Lagos
claimed by Deeper Christian Life Ministry; Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo,
Cross River built by the Clitter House Nigeria Limited; Clifford University,
Owerrinta, Abia possessed by Seventh Day Adventist Church; Coal City
University, Enugu worked by African Thinkers Community of Inquiry College of
Education, Enugu.
Others are:
Crown-Hill University, Eiyenkorin, Kwara skimmed by Modern Morgy and Sons
Limited; Dominican University, Ibadan, the brainchild of Order of Preachers,
Nigerian Dominican Community; Kola Daisi University, Ibadan originated from
Kola Daisi Foundation; Legacy University, Okija, a thought of The Good Idea
