He also reflected on the university’s journey over the past two decades. When Covenant University was first licensed, critics doubted its potential. Today, it stands as one of Nigeria’s leading private universities, with strong academic performance and high graduate employability.

Construction of the College of Law will begin immediately. Plans are also in place for a College of Medicine, with its groundbreaking scheduled later in the month. The expansion highlights the university’s commitment to meeting national needs through quality education.
University leaders expressed confidence that the College of Law will mark a new chapter in legal education. As work begins, expectations are high that the institution will continue to raise standards and shape the future of Nigeria’s legal profession.
