FORMER Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN) has passionately appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the siting of one of the proposed federal universities in Kogi State.
The presidential committee on the matter had already started inspection of areas where the new universities will be sited. The six geo-political zones in the country are to have one new federal university each, with special consideration for states without any existing federal university.
Kogi is one of the states in the North-Central zone without a federal university.
Ojo, in the letter dated November 11, 2010, appealed to the president that Kogi should be considered in the interest of fair play, adding that of all the old provinces in the North, only the state had no federal university.
It reads: “I wish to commend your excellency for the practical demonstration of the commitment of your administration to human capital development of our nation, as evident in the gracious approval of the Executive Council of the Federation to create six additional universities.
