In a
bid to really find out why the National University Commission (NUC) has asked the management of Lead City University to shut down her Law Program and Post Graduate School, we
at TRENDS
by Bukchris carried out our
investigations and we were somehow able to get some tangible information from
one of Lead City’s University top staff who pleaded to remain anonymous.
Our
finding gathered that Prof. Jide Owoeye and Prof. Okogie used to be best of
friends once upon a time. As at the take off of the university in 2005, Prof. Okogie had proposed to Prof. Owoeye to start a Faculty
of Agricultural Science and also demanded that all fees gotten from the Faculty
be given to him as a consolation price. Prof.
Jide Owoeye bluntly refused the proposal and that was where the beef started
between both parties.
As
NUC’s secretary, Prof. Okogie was alleged to have promised to frustrate the University
Management if his demand was not met by Prof. Owoeye. This he has successfully
done in terms of accreditation of the Law program and Post Graduate School and
probably some other university programs.
Speaking
of accreditation, the university reported that in 2008, a team from NUC visited
the university to carry out the process of accreditation on her Law program.
The team marked the university high and approved the Law program only to with
draw their decision based on the fact that members of the Council of Legal
Education did not constitute the team that has visited from NUC.
