The leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Muhajid Asari-Dokubo recently joined the league of private university owners. The newly established school in Benin republic was named after his ancestor King Amachree. Asari-Dokubo, who already owns a soccer academy in the West African country and another one in Abuja, said the university, which will be known as King Amachree African University, KAAU,( sounds like COW right?).
The school had was accredited to commence degree programmes beginning September 2014.
In an interview with PREMIUM TIMES in Abuja,he said the proposed university, named after his ancestor, was a product of his two existing institutions in Benin Republic, namely King Amachree Automobile/ICT Royal Academy and King Amachree Arts Academy. Both of them, he added, currently award Diploma to their students.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo said he chose to establish the institutions in Benin Republic because he does not only live there, but has adopted it as his country.
“What we have now, we are awarding only diploma now. “By next September, Insha Allah, the university will start,” Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who dropped out of University of Calabar, he said.
“For now we have King Amachree Automobile/ICT Royal Academy and King Amachree Arts Academy. Two of them were merged. We have merged the two of them into king Amachree African University.“King Amachree is my great ancestor. He was king of the Kingdom of new Calabar.”
