Covenant University Sets Aside N4 Billion For International Staff Recruitment. Covenant University, Ota unveiled its plan to recruit foreign faculty during the past administration of vice chancellor CK Ayo. The international recruitment drive is in line with Times Higher Education's(A leading Consultant In Higher Education) requirement for world class universities to have a minimum of 19% of her staff and students as foreigners. The University would engage international faculty as either full or visiting staff. In the case of visiting staff, the lecturers would be required to lecture fully in CU for one semester(3 months) - minimum. After which they can relocate to their home countries' universities of primary assignment. The appointment of foreign staff would be renewable each year. The University has set aside initial of about 10 million USD to recruit foreign faculty. However, Covenant University would focus more on foreign faculty of Nigerian descent. This maintains a balance between the pan africanist mandate and a desire to have foreign faculty from leading research institutions. The recruitment drive would also help to bring the university into the expected 7:1 student - staff ratio which it expects to have realised by 2022. This would help Covenant surpass Times Higher Education assessment of top 200 universities in the world which are found to have a 11:1 staff - student ratio. According to Times Higher Education, Internalisation is proof of a university's reputation. And reputation is a proxy to quality, therefore internationalization remains a critical part of any university ranking process. Apart from that, Internationalization helps universities to be grounds of cross fertilization of ideas and melting pot of culture. Covenant University is also looking to increase the allotment of International students to 19% of total student population. The University's strategy for this is to use the existent infrastructure of her proprietor base in several African countries to aid increasing foreign recruitment of students. In addition to this, the university would be translating to a major center for post graduate education with an overall 2:1 student population in favour of post graduate students.

asuustrike1:Hmm there seems to be restrictions on the number of foreign lecturers that public universities can recruit tho.. The ministry of interior should clarify... Then another issue is that the university must be ready to pay from IGR as I doubt FG would pay the salaries of foreign lecturers. 1 Like |

As far as I’m concerned, convenient university is the best school in Nigeria. It’s still evolving and has to do away with some practices and learn new practices but I can see a school with a vision to be the best in Africa and maybe the world someday. Hiring foreign professor with Nigerian Descents to lead research while teaching in Nigeria will greatly open up the marketability of the University and increase the variety of talent pool groomed by the university! P.s. I went to a federal school where I was abused and mistreated and victimized by lecturers who now make less than the guys that man my gate. It is well. I strongly encourage all parents with university aged kids to try private universities or go abroad. Don’t kill your child’s talent in federal unis. 74 Likes 10 Shares |

Using a whopping 4billion naira for international staff recruitment alone (not even all the university staff) goes a long way to show just how valueless our currency has become. 5 Likes 1 Share |

cr7lomo:They are actually planning to reduce fees... covenant does a lot of other profitable things. 21 campus businesses probably yielding more income than schools fees - sadly it's not very enough in CU's case.. But universities generally generate fairly good amount of income aside fees... 10 Likes 1 Share |
