Nigeria Universities – Polytechnics and College of Education news Nigerian Educational News | Zenith Of Educational NewsLatest educational news reaching us today, is that the Vice-Chancellor, Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Prof. James Makinde, has hailed the National Association of Nigerian Students for its contributions to the advancement of education in the country.
Makinde also said a report that earlier quoted him as saying NANS should stay off private universities was not true.
He, however, urged proprietors of the nation’s public universities to run the institutions faithfully.
The vice-chancellor spoke at a forum organised for leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Akure, Ondo State.
The university’s Director, External and Community Affairs, Joshua Suleiman, stated this in a statement on Tuesday.
The students’ body, at the national and regional levels, Makinde said, had assisted in providing quality and sustainable educational development in Nigeria.
The Vice chancellor also went further to applaud NANS, as he recalled that the NANS has in 2011, nominated Babcock University for an award as the best private university in Africa.
The clarification came as Makinde denied condemning NANS for insisting that owners of public universities should make education viable by meeting the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
