This was characterized by determination, honesty, integrity and good character. He has decided to impart these ideals to young Nigerians for proper national development. His vision is to build the Nigerian that the Nation clamors for. Hence the establishment of this proposed University. The University shall contribute to the economy of the region in particular and the state as a whole.

The University is conceived as a response to the Government’s call towards contributing to educational development in the country by individuals or groups of people or religious bodies. It is to serve as a catalyst in the educational, moral and entrepreneurial development of the people in Nigeria in particular and the world in general. It shall also seek to inculcate values in the students that will inspire them to be future leaders that will be job creators rather than job seekers.
