Nestled in the heart of Ekwegbe, Enugu, the proposed Maduka University is rapidly taking shape, promising to revolutionise education and tourism in Nigeria. With over 85% completion, the university, which sprawls across 450 hectares of land, is set to become the first entrepreneurship-focused institution in the country. It is the brainchild of Dr. Samuel Maduka Onyishi, a business mogul and founder of Peace Group.

Intending to be city-like, the institution has also made stunning provisions for staff quarters, a world-class campus stadium, an international guest house, a lake resort, a park and recreation centre to cater for children, and most importantly, a primary and secondary school with full boarding facilities. In fact, its secondary school, called Maduka University College, has already begun operations, having opened its doors to welcome secondary school students during the last academic session.

Many might wonder why another private university is being built when quite a number already exist. But what sets Maduka University apart from other higher institutions is its singular focus on entrepreneurship.

Every student will take classes on entrepreneurship that will give them the skills they need to be successful on their own before and after they graduate without having to rely on traditional white-collar jobs.

Even though Maduka University is a private school, it wants to offer a world-class education at a price that the average Nigerian can afford.

The founder of the university, Dr. Onyishi, explains that his mission is rooted in a desire to give back to society and help address the country's ongoing unemployment crisis. As he notes, many Nigerian universities remain theory-focused and don't provide students with the skills they need to succeed in the real world. The lack of entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, and spirit among young people only exacerbates this issue. With the unemployment rate rising, the entrepreneurship gap remains wide.

To make this university a reality, Dr. Onyishi is solely financing the multi-billion naira project from his pocket without any external support, which is a commendable feat!

Upon completion and successful accreditation by the NUC, Maduka University will be the rallying hub for educational acquisition, the training ground for the nation's next set of great entrepreneurs and business leaders, and a credible alternative for Nigerians who desire quality education at an affordable cost.

Hopefully, this will inspire other entrepreneurs to invest in Nigeria's education sector.

Money Is Really Good

Just three buildings and a basketball court, good luck finding students.

What's it with these type of buildings.. Are we regressing in architecture and structural engineering
There seem to be no proper planning anymore.. Just aquire a few acres of land land and start throwing blocks and cement all over the place with structure that look like things i can't even describe..

Atleast, we can take a cue from the legacy institutions such as OAU and UI, in retrospect of how our civil engineering and building should be done and carried out.. These things we do have ni taste or aesthetics at all..

This is a picture of Zik Hall in UI na.. We seriously need a revolution within all aspects of our engineering..

Are you sure? Education is very cheap in Nigeria. Go to the Western world and see how their citizens take huge loans to study their courses. Many years after graduating from the schools, they continue to use their salaries to offset the loans. No wonder they get value for their money.

When built in area where education is compulsory and part of growing up. Try and build in where Boko is Haram and see who will patronize you

Truth be told, the real igbo billionaires are in the east making money!!!!
