Central University Reportedly on the Verge of Collapse

Central University is alleged to be on the
verge of collapse. According to a report by
Success Africa Media,some Students of the
University have lamented about the current
happenings in the School.According to
reports,Lectures in the University have not
been paid their monthly salaries for about
three (3) months.
Reports also suggested that other staff of
the University have not been paid their
salaries.Earlier, the university laid off some
staff and other workers, while the registrar
confirmed that the university was running
on life-support.
The students also revealed their inability to
have access to utilities on campus. They
say they sometimes have no water and no
light for hours, thereby making life difficult
for them.

Sources say the only way the university
could remedy the situation is by increasing
fees for the student. However, they fear
that would backfire because Central
University has one of the highest school
fees in the country currently.
This is coming at a time when Pastor Otabil
has been in the news for the collapse of
Capital Bank in August 2017. The
renowned pastor served as a Chairman of
the bank’s board before the collapse.
