Founder, Christopher University, Mowe, Ogun State, Chief Christopher Ikechi Ezeh, has called on the Federal Government to revisit the issue of assisting private universities through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund . Ezeh noted that the current challenges and escalating costs confronting tertiary institutions, particularly private-owned universities, call for urgent government intervention.
He pointed out that private universities absorb a sizeable percentage of candidates seeking admission into universities; thereby lifting the burden on oversubscribed public ones. Oyelana said the institution plans to interface local research and innovation with the development of need-driven educational programmes to produce highly skilled, globally and self-employable graduates, who may transform into entrepreneurs, and create their own enterprises and business opportunities.
He charged them to unleash their academic attainments on the society and be agents of positive change.
