Look at the fees.

Most Nigerians want the same facilities for public universities at 45000 and below...

I don't believe it should be about being the first-Igbinedion uni doesn't have the financial capacity to run Medicine. If memory serves me right they've had accreditation issues in the past. Even Afe Babalola who dived into medicine had to borrow large sums of money from the AfDB to kick start the Teaching Hospital in Ekiti. So running Medicine is not for the fainthearted you have to have lots and lots of money to go into medicine.

I know how much it cost to replicate University of Wisconsin-Madison's Molecular Laboratory in Covenant University-Millions of Dollars! As per running Law or Medicine, the University is being very cautious. Covenant is on the verge of "officially" breaking into top 1000 universities on Times Higher and that is predicated on the intense work the University Departments have been doing since 2012. When Times collects all of CU's data for assessment later this year it would be between 2013-1017. If you add Law to CU right now-it most likely would weaken the University's position and rank. Most reputable rankings don't give any special advantage to Universities offering Medicine, Aeronautic engr, Nuclear Physics etc. They only measure you against what you currently offer. So the University is currently focused on making the Engineering completely World Class by Creating more Centre of Excellence. However i think there are now folks who have been sent to top notch foreign medical schools to take templates that the University can model after. Keeping with traditions of the Church CU would most likely have a running mega Teaching Hospital before a College of Medicine just like how Landmark Farms was instituted or began before Landmark University.

This one is definitely on a whole new level.

I'm happy to learn that it's owned by Diamond and MTN's Pascal Edozie. The man wants to put hand in everthing.

Building new structures has never been our problem in this country, Maintenance is!!!

It's not owned by them... funded by Opus Dei

All thanks to president MUHAMMADU buhari for creating the enable space for private businesses to run without itch.

Who's them? I'm talking about Pascal Dozie.

Maintenance has NEVER been LBS's problem

The tuition fee is 1.5 Million Naira and above.

The Competition for best Private University is going to be intense in a few years. Many extraordinary private universities are coming up in the Country with many useless ones also.
For me the Excellent private Universities still remain Covenant, AUN, Pan Atlantic, ABUAD, Baze, Babcock and Landmark and I believe the Dangote University would also be great.

The advantage secular private universities have over the religious ones is the absense of strict rules. However the Church owned private universities are cheaper in comparison. For instance PAU tuition for B.Sc Economics is twice the amount of Covenant.

The school is not owned by Pascal Dozie but by a corporate organisation who are mostly members of Opus Dei, a Catholic institution which is renowned for making billionaires in the name of Christ. Pascal Dozie is only the chancellor of the university and he is only a member of the Opus Dei. There are so many other renowned and rich institutes run by Opus Dei, both in Nigeria and overseas.

I think very soon most Nigerians would stop going abroad for Undergraduate degrees. I am quite impressed with this PAU-it is a promising university. I also like the fact that they only offer 5 courses for now-many private universities should learn from this. It is not how many that matters but how qualitative the ones you are offering are. Too many times a Young private university with little financial backing would want to offer very costly programmes like Law, Medicine and Engr.

It would amaze that no Living Faith University runs Medicine at the moment in spite of their wealth-they are trying to be very careful of what they run so that the reputation of their schools isn't dragged down in an attempt to run some courses which they are not ready for-Even the Engineering they currently run have consumed several Billions.

What is Edwin Clarke Uni doing with Law or even Igbinedion doing with Medicine They should all wait till they have the capacity to run such courses before getting themselves and unsuspecting jambites into accreditation issues.

BluntBoy:


Bro, Opus Dei does not claim to make billionaires in the name of Christ. From where did you read that sef

noble0:


It is true that the Opus Dei does not profess among its strict religious practices that they raise billionaires in the name of Christ, even its establishments does not bear overt religious identity. This is because of the society's special manner of operation- which has been regarded in some quarters as cult-like. It is also a popular knowledge that the society recruits the best of university students and train them in their various business schools (e.g Lagos Business School) scattered throughout the world.

Is it pan Atlantic or pan African uni?

and is that too much to ask in a sane country?
