FG Approves Edwin Clark's Varsity by retepmurt(m): 5:32am On Apr 30, 2015
The Federal Executive Council on Wednesday approved the establishment of two new private universities in the country. The decision was taken at the weekly meeting of the council, presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan.

One of the new universities is Edwin Clark University located in Kiagbodo, Delta State. The university belongs to Chief Edwin Clark, an Ijaw leader and major supporter of the President.

Clark was also a former Federal Commissioner of Information in the First Republic.

The Minister of Information, Patricia Akwashiki, announced the approval for the new universities during the post-FEC press conference in Abuja.

Akwashiki also named Hezekiah University, located in Umudi, Imo State, as the second private university approved by the council. She said, “The Minister of Education tabled a memorandum to seek the council’s ratification of the President’s anticipatory approval for the issuance of provisional licence for the establishment of Edwin Clark University, Kiagbodo, Delta State.

“The establishment of Edwin Clark University will address the inadequate access to university education and enrolment of students in excess of the carrying capacity of the universities. “In addition, the establishment of the university will also address the development challenges of the Niger Delta in particular and also the wider global community as a whole.

“After deliberations, the council ratified the President’s anticipatory approval for the issuance of provisional licence for the establishment of Edwin Clark University, Kiagbodo, Delta State.”

The council had during its February 25 meeting approved nine additional private universities for the country. The nine universities approved at that February meeting were Augustine University, Ilara, Lagos State; Chrisland University, Owode, Ogun State; Christopher University, Mowe, Ogun State; Hallmark University, Ijebu Itele, Ogun State; Kings University, Ode Omu, Osun State; Michael and Cecilia Ibru University, Orode, Delta State; Mountain Top University, Ogun State; Ritman University, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State; and Summit University, Offa, Kwara State.

This is the season of approvals and disapprovals, sacking and appointments. And I hope this has not been hurriedly approved to beat the handing over date to a new government, sensing there may be difficulty with approving the University under a new and incorruptible government.

Hezekaiah University is owned by the founder of the church Living Christ Mission, Daddy Hezekaiah. He is from Nkwerre in Imo state.

Whichever way we view this approval, this is a welcome development for the Niger Deltan youth. We need more schools not militant camps.

No. But NUC has to give acreditation for every course studied there. Without that, their students can't graduate or serve.
