The don also assured the people that the institution would not charge high tuition as it began operations as a university.

He added: “We have always had good ranking and never lowered our standards. As a College of Education, we started degree programmes in 1982. We have over 200 PhD holders. Our concern has been that of quality education. We subscribe to very high standards. We can rub shoulders with other universities. We have what it takes and the resources.

“We have been considerate in the tuition fees. We will be considerate with the fees. We will not arbitrarily increase tuition fees.”
