The farm was not included as it was not included for landmark too. Anyway in the next five years CU might be over a 1000 acres because there are plans to extend the medical school, law school, business school and technology hub into canaancity(i guess as a second campus)
But then the best universities in the world rarely have landmass above 500 acres. e.g Caltech, Lancaster, Howard(250 acre) etc.

*the whole canaanland is now over 17,000 acres

There are plans for a teaching hospital and law school soon. I know the law college construction has been initiated and there are also plans for a business school in Canaancity and Eko Atlantic City. But for the law college and medical college they can't be sited at canaanland campus because of space and Bishop said he doesn't want student numbers to exceed the current 6,000(undergrad) on that campus.

*Yawns...

To be honest, the tuition is worth 1Mil. (about $3000 USD). The cheapest public universities in US start at $9000 or so; UC Berkely, at a higher end is $50,000 for tuition and fees for non-residents. Public, not private. 1 Mil is a minimum to employ good professors, pay for electricity (gen) and other going concerns, get and maintain standard equipment, computers, libraries, buildings, security, groundskeeping, etc. This is for quality education that is recognized worldwide.

The alternative is that parents spend upwards of $20,000 USD to send children abroad to get that same quality.

Our public universities have been heavily subsidized for so long that they mask the true cost of education in today's world. I'm not saying subsidization of education is a bad thing, but the government has proven its incompetence to provide services of value.

go school you no gree. It's not our fault Oyo state is bigger than anambra, IMO and abia put together. Take heart



BTW this is about education. How come 90% of the top 20 private unis are in the south west and owned by yorubas?
It's because we are miles ahead of you drug mules


If you feel pained you can open a drug college/university with the remaining available land in anambra

Is that my fault that Enugu is 7x of Lagos, considering 2/3 of Lagos is water? Illiterate afonja

o Enugu is like X3 of Lagos. Yorubas don't have land problem. In fact ondo and Ekiti state is bigger than your five states put together


Ignorant one


Modified: google is your Friend. Ibadan alone is bigger than any of your states apart from Enugu. Oyo state alone is bigger than abia, anambra and IMO put together.


When we were busy building empires pigbos were busy learning how to hunt rabbits with stone

Anambra is three 3x of Lagos including water, but when you consider 2/3 of Lagos being water, Enugu is 7x of Lagos. So keep that in mind when you talk about landmass. Anambra is nearly 2x of Lagos with water, however considering 2/3 of Lagos being water, Anambra is actually 3x of Lagos. Meaning if Lagos can house 30 million people today with only 20% of its meager/tiny landmass in use, it means that Anambra with his culture of building mostly high-rise buildings because they have sense than Lagos government, will house over 100million with only 5% of its landmass in use. Have I educated you today Afonja illiterate?

How come OAU is not on the list.

BLOGGERS ESPECIALLY FROM THE SOUTHWEST, WHO DON'T GO OUTSIDE THE SOUTHWEST BUT ASSUME THEY KNOW EVERY THING..


HOW WILL REDEEMERS BE BIGGER THAN CARITAS UNIVERSITY OR MADONNA THAT ARE BOTH HIGHER INSTITUTIONS AND RELIGIOUS GROUNDS?

ESPECIALLY CARITAS THAT ALSO HAS A MONASTERY... TO ME CARISTAS UNIVERSITY SHOULD BE THE LARGEST PRIVATE UNIVERSITY IN LANDMASS THAT I KNOW. IT ALSO BOARDERS GOFERY OKOYE UNIVERSITY AND AKANU IBIAM INTERNATION AIRPORT IN ENUGU

I HAVE BEEN TO REDEEMERS, COVENANT, AFE BABALOLA AND BOWEN SO YES I KNOW.
