Six years after its establishment, McPherson University (McU), a faith-based tertiary institution in Seriki-Sotayo, Ogun State, has secured a permanent licence from the National Universities Commission (NUC) to operate as a full fledge private school.
This was disclosed by the Vice-Chancellor (VC), Prof Adeniyi Agunbiade, at a press conference on the campus to announce the school’s third convocation holding on Saturday.
The development, which the VC described as “a significant progress” towards the realisation of the school’s objectives, will pave the way for the establishment of the post-graduate school in the university, Prof Agunbiade indicated.
He said: “We are happy to announce to the general public that McPherson University has come to stay in its drive to change the face of university education positively. We have been working tirelessly to impart quality education and excellence in line with our vision. This effort has been crowned by the issuance of permanent licence by NUC to operate as full fledge private university. For us, this is a significant progress and it happened within the first six year of our takeoff.”
The school, the VC said, had stepped up the ante in delivering quality education and training competent manpower to solve real problems in diverse areas of human endeavour. Prof Agunbiade said the faith-based school instituted a culture of excellence and creating avenue for healthy rivalry by rewarding exceptional abilities of students in academic performance.
