Quality education crucial to nation building, says VC

The Vice Chancellor of Christopher University, Mowe, Ogun State, Prof. Friday Ndubuisi, has said that poorly educated persons are involuntarily hamstrung when it comes to contributing their quota to nation-building.
Speaking to The Guardian recently, Ndubuisi, a professor of philosophy said every human being has a responsibility to make meaningful contributions to the development of his or her immediate environment, and the readiness of each individual to discharge such obligations would greatly help induce societal development.
“It is when every single person does what is expected of him or her that a family, kindred, village, town, local council, senatorial district, state, or even our country will begin to experience gradual sectoral transformation that will manifest in a cumulative development, he stated.
Insisting that a person’s willingness to support societal development is largely determined by the standard, quality, and functional education he or she has received, Ndubuisi said: “No matter how keen a person is to participate in nation building, if he or she is not adequately educated for the task under discourse, he or she will be unable to translate such desire into reality.
He urged youths to channel their productive period into the acquisition of skills from formal and vocational training programmes, pointing out that such would enable them to cope with the complexities of career pursuit and nation building.
The vice chancellor, who is also a legal practitioner, stressed the need for educational institutions to constantly review their curricula so as to equip their graduates with the relevant skills to tackle complexities in the different theatres of human endeavor.
“Educational institutions especially the universities should take the lead in ensuring that people are properly trained to solve society’s problems. The different disciplines of Christopher University have been carefully designed to respond to this profound national challenge, Ndubuisi, a public policy expert stated.
The foundation disciplines of the school, which opened its doors to students on Friday, November 25, 2016, include accounting and finance, business administration, economics. Others are psychology, political science, history and diplomatic studies, philosophy and languages among others.

Christopher University is about excellence – VC

Prof. Friday N. Ndubuisi, currently a professor of Philosophy at the University of Lagos, has been appointed the pioneer Vice Chancellor of Christopher University, Mowe, Ogun State, one of the new private universities recently approved by the Federal Government. In this interview with Editorial Page Editor, CALLISTUS OKE and Assistant Editor, Health and Education, SAM EFERARO, Professor Ndubuisi says the core value of the new university will be the promotion of excellence, which is geared towards producing first-class graduates that will be counted among the best in the world. Excerpts:

Thank you for having us. Let’s start by asking what Christopher University is all about.
Christopher University is among the last set of private universities approved by the Federal Government to operate. Since then, we have put a number of things in place to ensure that the university takes off effectively this academic session. By the way, Christopher University is under the mentorship of the University of Lagos. It is located in Mowe, along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, about a minute or two from the Redeemed Camp. We already have structures in place. We have the administrative block, classrooms, students’ hostels, and playgrounds. The university is also up-to-date in information technology. So, I can say the university is now fully on the ground. As a matter of fact, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has given us students for take-off in the 2015/2016 session. In that light, I was appointed the pioneer Vice-Chancellor; a Registrar has also been appointed. We are in the process of recruiting academic and non-academic staff.
