Dr David Oyedepo, the Chancellor of Nigeria’s leading private tertiary institution, Covenant University, has announced that the school will begin construction of newly approved Medicine and Law faculties in 2023.
Oyedepo said this during Covenant’s 17th Convocation ceremony which was held at the University Chapel on Friday.
Covenant University, one of Nigeria’s highly-ranked higher institutions, has notably lacked provisions for medicine and law studies since its inception in 2002.
However, the school owner and General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide announced that the University will commence construction on the two faculties in the first quarter of 2023.
“With the cooperation of the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC), we are embarking on the construction takeoff of the faculty of law and medicine. We just revealed the construction plans and details and we expect to kick off in the first quarter of the year,” Dr. Oyedepo said in his address.
