Theodorou was quoted as lauding the initiative of Dickson, aimed at
repositioning the educational sector adding that it was one of the best
in the continent.
He said the establishment of University of Africa, the first of its kind in Nigeria, would discourage parents from sending their children abroad for studies.
He said: “I have seen over the years, thousands of Nigerians, sending their children abroad for studies. This idea must be stopped. Let us educate our children in Nigeria.”
Theodorou assured the government of the readiness of his organization to make the university one of the best in the world, saying that the necessary facilities would be put in place to achieve the feat.
He said that the School of Foundation Studies, an arm of the institution that would prepare the prospective students for various degrees, would start in January, 2017.
