The Executive Secretary, NUC, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed, revealed this while presenting provisional licences to some newly established private universities in Abuja.
Rasheed also noted that, despite the high demand for tertiary education, it is grossly inadequate compared to the number of institutions.
Rasheed also charged the proprietors of the newly established universities to ensure that the motive for creating the universities was not for money but for a higher and nobler goal. ”In establishing universities, you don’t expect to get financial rewards. If your main motive is to make money, then you are in the wrong place. You are here to pay back to humanity.
”The establishment of private universities is in dire need of passion from people so that passion should drive you,” he added.
