This is insane ... Just like the GWR cook-a-thon that is gradually becoming a farce

This is why these people would rather die, than make frantic efforts towards the resuscitation and funding of public unis. Everyone wants to take advantage of the dysfunctional system to cashout

Good one we really need to school alot of people in this country especially the ones gallivanting here on Nairaland.

Hope it's not with public funds

Good one

Nice Move

Just like that. These are the people Orji Kalu was talking about

Now to spend looted money on education

Is that sooo

Most of their lecturers are people with master's degree. That's great development

Wow! It seems university business has joined the rat race to chase the evasive cheese. Well, I wish them success in recruiting staff that’ll nurture men and women who would be productive assets to the fatherland.

Kudos to them all

Title should have been "3 Former Thieves Receive..."

Good, if not for anything at least it will generate employment and increase literacy level. Southeast leaders equally need to invest in education in that region so as to reduce the unnecessary migration of able-bodied young people to Lagos just with the aim of selling gala. Every Nigerians deserve quality education.

Good development..

Owning a university is now their new leisure.😂

That 44 years old dude that has four Universities ehn

Just like banks, these mushrooms will start merging together in future.

Some state and federal universities will be buying off some
