The pro-chancellors of private universities have decried the continued shutdown of the country’s ivory towers by the Federal Government since the outbreak of COVID-19, saying failure to reopen them wi
ll have adverse effect on the continued viability of the institutions.
A statement by the Head, Corporate Affairs Unit, Afe Babalola University, Tunde Olofintila, titled: ‘CPCPU urges FG to reopen private universities’, said the pro-chancellors made their position known in a communiqué signed by a former Minister of Education and ABUAD Pro-Chancellor, Prof. Tunde Adeniran, at the end of an emergency online meeting of the CPCPU, which held on Saturday, July 25, 2020.
This, the pro-chancellors said, was in view of the fact that “private universities rely solely on student enrolment and fees, which are only realisable if the universities are open.”
