Response to the letter on Lead University of August 15 2009

August 17, 2009


1) Mr Opeyemi,I advise you spend your time to look for job rather than circulating incorrect information.



2) On reading your letter, as a member of the Board of Trustees of Lead City University, a leading private University in Ibadan, I contacted the University.

I was informed that some students did not meet graduation requirements because they failed some courses in year One of their programmes and as such they did not have total minimum credits for the award of Bachelor's degree. The Senate of LCU decided to assist by asking them to take the "resit examinations" during summer holidays rather than come back to register for a whole academic session. They were asked to pay "resit examination fee of N50k" rather than to pay full session fee. Without graduating their names cannot be sent to NYSC for deployment. Your sister must have been one of such students. Do you expect LCU to manage Resit examinations free of charge?

3) What qualifies you to be an accrediting agent for private universities? What survey did you do to get the data on staffing in private universities?
Most private universities are less than 10years old, and yet they are contributing immensely to increasing access to higher education for youths who would otherwise have contributed to social menace in Nigeria.They may have teething problems just like any organisation,but this does not give you the right to crucify them. Have you established a university? Have you worked in one? Did you study in a University? If you did you would have scolded your sister for not taking her resit examination when she should have done so earlier.

4) If you still have problems, contact LCU on their website, if you cannot afford to accompany your sister to LCU to get true information.

5) To the publisher of this magazine, I advise you investigate information before you publish letters. This is to sustain your reputation.
Thank you.
