A new private university, Elizade University, Ilara Mokin in Ondo State, established by the chairman of Toyota Nigeria Limited, Chief Michael Ade Ojo, is to kick off in November this year.

Speaking after the third visit of the NUC standing committee on private universities, Ade Ojo said the project has gulped over N7billion

Ade Ojo said efforts would be made to ensure that anybody that qualifies for admission is not deprived because of financial hindrances.

What a Pity for Africa. You can only reap what you sow.The continent with the least investment in human capital can only reap confusion and stagnation. The main reason that our third world peers like South Korea, Malaysia, Brazil , India and others are light years ahead of us in economic progress is simply because these same nations have been investing greatly in the development of human capital over past 4 decades, while , we on other hand, have jostling and scrampling to get a piece of the so-called national cake.
Our wealthy elites are still not investing in human capital, rather, they building private universities for pure profit. With the high poverty rate in Nigeria,How many many average Nigerian parents can afford to send their Children to these mushrooming private Universities? The gap between the rich and the poor will continue to widen.
When will the leaders and wealthy elites begin to invest in human capital? It is the only thing that can save us.

When you are rich, you'll attract haters.

Elizade built his empire selling cars and owning a Toyota Distributorship. If you follow this old man's life, you'll notice that he's been entirely upright in his business.

I personally respect him as a godly and ethical business man, better than Mike Adenuga & Aliko Dangote.

Its easy for any jobless individual to stay behind their PC keyboard and call anyone "useless" because they decided to create a UNI from the money they made from the many years of sweat!
