Reaction from the registrar and indeed the hierarchy of the Fr. Edeh
owned university has been one of shock and surprise after NUC had the
operating licenses of Madonna University and its sister school- Caritas
University alongside five other Nigerian Universities suspended.
However, students of both Madonna and Caritas University have had a
totally different reaction to the suspension as leading social media sites- Twitter and Facebook were filled with sarcastic and joyous reactions to the development
An example is that of a 300 level student of the Accounting Department of Madonna University wrote on a social media site:
“I’m
so happy NUC took this bold step. They should have done so months ago.
This school does not deserve a licence to operate until they build good
hostels, lecture halls, stop security guards from harassing students,
employ qualified lecturers not illiterates that we sometimes correct in
the lecture hall, give us professors, water, steady light, and stop
exploiting students.
Lecturers collect as much as N3,000 to submit assignments
apart from the fact that we must buy their self-authored textbooks. We,
the students of Madonna and its sister college, Caritas are happy that
this bold step was taken.”
Also reacting to the development, Chinedum Ucheoma, an alumnus of
Madonna said that the suspension is a step in the right direction. His
words: “The suspension of Madonna University’s licence though a painful
and hurting situation to the students in session, but to some of us
alumni, is a step in the right direction by NUC. At least, now some
things will be put in the order it is meant to be. There is pain in
every positive revolutionary trend.”
