Have they added skull mining and human part logistics as a course there?

Sorry to say this..I be Anglican o but the worst educational mission schools that are being
mismanaged are from the Anglican churches. All they're after is money...infrastructure maybe decaying they're remain so adamant. Never u try out schools managed by d Anglicans...their schools are worse from primary to university. I don't know if its because of the marrying of wife they allow them to marry. They're bad managers. That Paul's university is rubbish..looks like a glorified secondary school. They have a fine school setting but they're misusing it. The last tym we went to southeast universitys for some assessment...I couldn't believe my eyes for that Paul's university


Rather take you take your kids to either a well known Catholic mission,deeper life schools,and some few serious Pentecostal owned schools like covenant,etc

They were talking about private universities not Federal. University of Ibadan is not own by the state or individuals.

I am a product of the Catholic school. It's still the best.

When talking of private universities, the only private universities we know are all in southwest

Universities are total waste of money and utterly useless


Time and money used to pursue a degree can be used to invest in meaningful work

Good to know.
