The Vice Chancellor of Salem University, Lokoja, Professor Alewo Akubo, has stated that for Nigeria to achieve sustainable education, private universities must receive adequate attention from the Federal Government.
He made these comments on Monday during a press conference for the upcoming 6th Convocation Ceremony, which will include graduates from the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 academic years.
Professor Akubo emphasized that private universities are not merely training graduates for private sector jobs; rather, they should also benefit from the same support that Federal and State Universities receive.
He urged the Federal Government to give special consideration to private universities, particularly in funding assistance through TETFund, as this would significantly aid their development.
“The future of education in Nigeria lies mostly with the private universities which hold the future. Public universities are more expensive than private universities, he said.
On the forthcoming Convocation, he said the institution will be graduating 41 first class as 499 students across 7 colleges will be graduating.
He added that on Wednesday the 27th of November, 2024 there would be a convocation lecture which would be delivered by an erudite Professor of political economy, Professor Sam Egwu.
Reeling out some of the achievements recorded by the university in the last sixteen years, Professor Akubo.
