The Centre for Democratic Governance in Africa (CDGA)
has conferred on Covenant University the award of the
best performing higher institution in Nigeria for 2013.
Speaking at the award event, Chairman of the Centre,
Dafe Okpocha said the university’s emulation of good
governance has made the university outstanding and
this is among what has kept the country’s growth.
“This centre believes in the practice of good governance
and sees to the development of the country. Our aim as
an organisation is to preach good governance to Africa
and Nigeria in particular. The education environment is
not left out of these. If it is not practised in this sector
the country is going nowhere,” he noted.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Charles
Ayo, while receiving the award on behalf of the
institution said, “Covenant is the leading university both
in academic standard and in Godly standard.”
He added, “Our drive is to be among the leading
Christian mission universities in Africa in the next 10
years. We will consider the university as a failure, if our
graduates join the bandwagon of the unemployed
looking for job.”
He explained that the University was founded to breed a
unique class of people who will make Nigeria a better
place.
