The Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday attended the launching of a private university, Eagle Heights, owned by the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Ayo Oritsejafor.

The private university is located at Omadino in Warri South Local Government Area, LGA, of Delta State.

Mr. Oritsejafor has now joined the teeming number of pastors and churches that own private universities in Nigeria.

The pastors have been heavily criticized for attaching high tuition fees to courses in their school, neglecting the less-privileged whose meagre funds helped build the schools.

Mr. Oritsejafor’s university is expected to start 2014/15 academic session soon.
