Donahue:Thanks, where can I get this to buy in Nigeria ? |
writerights:I guess the 2015 is an error then. The vc made alot of valid points. Funding these uni is never a cheap task. The public uni can owe power bill, get FG support etc unlike their private counterparts. |
It had to be Africa. I salute thee Africa. "Wireless Technology" components at its best. |
The Vice-Chancellor, Crawford University, Prof Olurotimi Ajayi, says that most of the private universities in the country are not profit driven, hence they are established to complement the existing ones. Ajayi stated this after a news conference, heralding the activities to mark the 9th convocation of the university that private universities only charged maintenance fees not commercial fees. The faith-based Crawford University, Igbesa, Ogun was established in 2015 by the Apostolic Faith Church Mission. “There has been the debate over the establishment of private universities as regards the profiteering motive which has been on the contrary. “Universities are very expensive, anybody can ask even the Federal Government how much it spends on maintenance of the existing public institutions. “Even some states cannot afford more than one because it is capital intensive and even ask them how much they are generating from those universities. “Private universities are not established to look after profit, that is not the vision of those who started them, they are established as an intervention to the declining standard of tertiary education,’’ he said. Ajayi said that the cost of maintaining universities were enormous hence, the missionary schools saw them more of a social provision toward the development of education. “If we can go back to the history of setting up of universities, they started as faith-based, we will see clearly that the vision is to provide an intervention which can stimulate academic excellence. “The cost of running universities is very enormous, considering the wages of the academic and non-academic staff. We also have other running costs which are also back-breaking. “It is a disservice to say that we are making profits; where is that coming from? We are just managing to put our heads up for survival. “The students fees cannot even pay for some of the expenses that is the reason the owners of the universities do supply intervention funds almost every time,’’ he said. Ajayi said that government could help to ameliorate the high expenses from these private universities through intervention funds from its agencies such as TETFund. “We can say that we need the government’s help because provision of education is within the list of government function. They can support through TETFund. “We are complementing government’s efforts in a great way through our contributions to manpower development in terms of personnel, so, I see no reason why it cannot help. “Government can come in through its own way to appreciate the wonderful things we have brought to the education system in Nigeria and that is the way to go. “Private universities have produced students of higher ranks more than the public universities and we have also broke into the Webometrics ranking, which is commendable,’’ he said. The 9th convocation Crawford University, a total of 230 graduands will be awarded First Degrees, while 40 are to be awarded Postgraduate Diplomas. A further breakdown of the graduates, shows that 78 are from the College of Natural and Applied Science, while 152 will be from the College of Business and Social Sciences. Twenty-two students got First Class, while 88 graduates passed out with Second Class Upper Division, 83 had Second Class Lower Division, while 37 had Third Class. The convocation ceremony comes up on Dec. 13, at the University’s Hall, Igbesa, Ogun. NAN https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/12/private-universities-not-profit-oriented-says-crawford-vc/ |

ollah1:Do you have an estimate of what the 'NEEDY' will be needing? It makes little or no sense. How will they seperate the true needy from fake ? Will it be fair for people to marry multiple wives and produce children they can't cater for only for churches to take them as needy? Do they realy need health care or knowledge ? |
ollah1:Is govt hospital free ? Even if the situation is life threatening, you still buy your own items. That govt's own you pay tax to. Now if the church makes theirs free, will it be open to the public or just members? If open to public, will the public start paying compulsory 'tithe' to the church ? Wisdom is profitable to guide. |
What a sad tale. Let's hold our looters responsible so they can give us our own backyard Europe una no go gree. Sarrki will soon defend a failing leader soon. |
Pesidents of Abuja have called for a revamp of the cancer centre project that was championed by former President Umaru Yar’Adua’s wife Turai for health delivery to the vulnerable in the country. On July 18, 2009, she assembled the Nigerian rich and government contractors to a fundraising in Abuja, which was also attended by her usually taciturn husband, who was battling some complicated diseases at the time. Financial pledges made by the galaxy of guests to actualise her dream amounted to N6.8 billion. The International Cancer Centre, (ICC) Abuja was born. But since then, apart from the imposing structure on the Umaru Yar’Adua Express Road, the project is now virtually abandoned, according to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). One of the security guards at the ICC, who simply identified himself as Garba confirmed the abandonment. He said there had been no activities to actualise the centre, as envisioned by Turai Yar’Adua. According to him, Turai came two times in 2016 to the site. She had not been seen around the area since then. “We have not seen her this year, but some people often come around to see the progress of the place,” he said. Garba said some bandits invaded the ICC last year to disposess them of their valuables, adding that few items belonging to the centre were also stolen.. He added that some policemen from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) had since been deployed to secure the ICC against further attacks. “Six of us were employed to secure this place and we do alternate, but because the bandits were fully armed, they overpowered us and beat the security guards. The desolate centre was more palpable at a park for scores of tricycles meant to be conveying patients. Weeds have swamped the tricycles. Worried by the delay in completing the ICC, one the residents of Abuja, Mr. Gabriel Oluwabunmi, berated those responsible for the abandoned project, adding that such noble idea that could bring relief to the masses, should have been completed without the usual hiccup. He called on the authorities to ensure that the project was resuscitated, adding that such cancer centre would help bring succour to those ravaged by the disease and especially those who could not afford to be flown abroad. Miss Ngozi Chukwuma, whose relative is suffering from the cancer, called on the Federal Government to ensure the completion of the centre to enable Nigerians who could not afford overseas treatment to patronise it. She said such project would go a long way in assuaging the feeling of Nigerians who could not afford the treatment as a result of heavy monetary demand. Mrs. Yar’adua had in her speech during the launch of the centre said the whole idea of establishing the cancer centre was conceived out of her desire to contribute her quota to achieving standard healthcare delivery for the vulnerable. According to her, the centre would specifically render services to women and children, especially the rural and urban poor. When NAN visited the National Hospital Abuja, which is offering an alternative treatment to cancer patients, the staff appeared so overwhelmed with the huge number of cancer patients. A cancer patient who craved anonymity called on the Federal Government to assist in revamping the centre, adding that this would go a long way in decongesting the national hospital from cancer patients with special attention. Mr. Mohammed Lawal, an Abuja based businessman, called on the government not to abandon the centre, adding that though it was a private initiative; the government could also intervene to revamp it. The ICC, according to its promoter, was meant to focus on four types of cancer that account for most deaths in Nigeria: cervical cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and throat cancer. https://i1.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2017/03/DSC_1172.jpg http://thenationonlineng.net/turai-yaraduas-n10b-abuja-cancer-centre-abandoned/ https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/225480-eight-years-raising-billions-turai-yaraduas-cancer-centre-remains-abandoned-overtaken-weeds.html |
A man had to go to hospital after becoming blind in one eye when he orgasmed too hard during sex, research has revealed. |
As part of efforts to raise the standard of education in the country and ensure access to qualitative tools and materials for knowledge gain, the Rose of Sharon Foundation has donated a building to Yaba College of Education, Lagos to serve as a skill acquisition centre and bookshop. |
DaddyFrozenMind knows not what he speaks of. He speaks to be heard and interprets The Holy Bible like 1999 constitution. In the facts that In acts they spake and others understood doesn't mean an Ijaw man speaking in tongue must speak Benin or some non-distant language. DaddyFrozenMind is missing it again. |
I want to get a new Android of 8 MP back camera and at least 1 GB RAM. I have budget of N17,000. |
I can only imagine the millions of naira this man will make from this crusade alone.Kidney problem dey worry you. |
ollah1:We can see clearly who the slave is here. |
Statsocial:I wish the children of hate will factor in these things before jumping to blind conclusions against the Church. |
Jethrolite:Ooops . . . . The monthly was a heavy typo sir. It was suppose to be yearly. I totally missed it. |
tchimatic:The mumuest sheeple you are. How another man personal belief take concern you ? Sheeple007. |
ollah1:Keep shifting the goal post. Winners subsidize CU & LU with billions yearly. It is only a matter of shutting the unis and opening health centres. Are you happy now? Next . . . . |
charliboy654:You guys keep bring incomplete info to decieve people. How much was that stadium built with? You think Ozoro poly is being funded with your recharge card school fee ? Go find out how much DTSG pays Ozoro poly staff every year and divide it by the number of students there then add you school fee + accomodation + power bills per year and correct that dull post you have up there. |
Jethrolite:Winners (CU & Landmark) are exception regarding the bold. The Church is still subsidizing those unis heavily. The subsidy (about N4B-N5B/year) is a pure function of what the students are enjoying. People criticize blindly out of emotion. Govt isn't providing equipment, power, water, security, housing, or books at the level Landmark and CU are but spend as high as N400,000 to subsidize some students in Federal Unis. Juxtapose the figures against the services rendered and see what's keeping private unis going. |
Darksider131:Are u ok mentally? What do you mean by 99% can't afford it again? I just showed dullards like you why the sch is ok. Keep speculating to justify you hatred for the church one thing I know, the church don't owe you cheap or free service, the govt does, as long as you pay tax go and hold you govt responsible. |
ollah1:What do you mean by "they don't pay taxes at all and still make billions"? Keep the hate in control bros. How can you call voluntary contribution for a cause profit and expect the money to be taxed? It is like money being contributed by a group getting taxed. |
Darksider131:Go and sort out your ignorance and stop exposing your below average mind here. What you pay is a function of what you are getting sir. If uni education starts n ends with certificate for you go to public uni, if you want better security, power, reliable health, no strikes, and good equipments, then pay for it and stop being so daft. Do you want churches to subsidize N500,000 per session and bring to sch fee to public uni level just so the poor aren't left out? What's the use if they do that and admit only 200 student per year? Wouldn't it be better if they give 200 scholarship per year and allow another 1800 students pay 600,000 per session. It is a pity people expect the world to bend to their situation just so they aren't left out. Your mentality explains why the average Nigerian driver breaks traffic so often just to for selfish reasons. |
Mirand606:Who will run industries with no brains ? The church is doing right. Missionaries didn't build us industries but schools as knowledge has the power to birth industries ''needed''. Winners is doing fine cos if govt was up to task of providing even average education, there will be next to no patronage of private schools. |
olasaad:Started in 2009. I think either Sanusi or Soludo was there then. |
BafanaBafana:Who is "you guys"? You are insecure just like the one whom you seek to defend blindly and it is driving you into desperate conclusions. |
manutdrichie:The man is proving to be a northern version of GEJ. His desperation for second term is clear. He goes for short/medium term flashy projects. Directs them to area he isn't enjoying great support. Is desperate to point out achievements where is none. The signs are there. |
DelGardo:No doubt Buhari is working but don't forget Jonathan also worked when he delivered almajiri sch, roads, and universities up north. It is one thing to work for the sake of scoring a point against whoever makes one insecure, it another thing to work where it is matters most & most effective. The latter is why we vote in leaders. Buhari is replicating the Jonathan moves he tried using to launch his re-election bid but he is doing his more desperately. |
fulanimafia:I am sure when the road is ready, it will aid fulani herdsmen in reaching otuoke to graze peoples farm. |
True. If they had jobs to do they won't leave it to go greet Buhari. |
