    The university is the hub of knowledge and strategic exposure. Most modern civilization are known to have emanated from the university. It is the place where different schools of thought exist but all of them have a thread holding them and that is purpose, strength and achievements At the period when the universities were established for the first time in Nigeria, everybody alive had a new experience.

Sixty-two years down the way, our cultural values, livelihoods, governance patterns, religious systems and many more, still submerged by foreign policies and practices.
