The Federal Executive Council at its usual Wednesday meetings approved the issuance of operating licenses to nine new private universities in Nigeria.
The meeting was chaired by Vice-President Namadi Sambo.
Once the operating licenses are issued, there will be 60 private universities in Nigeria.
The Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, addressing journalists after the council meeting listed the new private universities as
1. Augustine University, Ilara, Lagos State;
2. Chrisland University, Owode, Ogun State;
3. Christopher University, Mowe, Ogun State;
4. Hallmark University, Ijebu Itele, Ogun State;
5. Kings University, Ode Omu, Osun State;
6. Michael and Cecilia Ibru University, Orode, Delta State;
7. Mountain Top University, Ogun State,
8. Ritman University, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State
9. Summit University, Offa, Kwara State.
Speaking on the exorbitant tuition fees of private universities, the Minister of Education, Ibrahim Shekarau,said it is not the responsibility of the federal government to regulate fees charged since private universities are run like other private organisations.
He said the Federal Government would only ensure that the standard of education in private schools are of minimum standards.
“As far as government is concerned, all Federal Government universities are tuition-free. Whatever the universities are charging are so minimal for some day-to-day activities: games fees, union fees and some other fees.
Is this good new?? Well kind of sha....but these school fees are really expensive oh. How can a civil or public servant pay for these schools. before you know it...all the lecturers in the Public University will move to the Private ones because of good salaries and the public universities will be left with half baked or incompetent lecturers.
What do you think of this development? Lets know your thoughts.
