Caleb varsity, others to light up Lagos classrooms

A partnership between students of Caleb University and their counterparts from the Institute of International Marine Affairs, South Korea, will see them provide electricity in several classrooms in Lagos, the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof Ayandiji Aina, has said.

Aina said the partnership is part of the service delivery in the education sector initiative of the school which enables students to add value to society even as undergraduates.

The VC, who added that the institution was working to establish a technology hub where students could improve on existing technological devices, said this on Thursday during a briefing in the university in Imota, Lagos.

He also denied that private varsities charge exorbitant tuition, adding that most institutions in this category had far less .

He said, “Aside from a university in Katsina State, there is no private university in Nigeria charging lesser fees than Caleb University. Our tuition is N350,000. A professor’s cumulative salary before tax is between N380,000 and N500,000.

“People who say that private universities are driven by money are only relating their personal income to what they need to do to put their children in good schools. By the time our Sports Complex is completed, it would have gulped about N450m. It takes a lot of money to sponsor research, tuition is not enough to run the university and this only means that those who run private universities are better managers.’’

The don added that faith-based universities had come to stay in the country, adding that education delivered with a moral methodology would continue to be in demand.
