How I became VC of three varsities – Prof Samuel Bandele

about his career, achievements and other issuesIt was by divine order. Inspiration is often said to be aspiration, but they are two different things. Aspiration is when one has an idea of what one wants to do. Inspiration is when someone is being led by God into a terrain they never thought of before. Being an educationist was not my initial plan. However, I have no regrets.My role is a universal one but it has some peculiarities, depending on the institution.

Also, we ensure that the spiritual integrity of the church is preserved, even though the university is a universal environment. We allow our students to be free but we do not allow them to indulge in reckless behaviours. My role is to make sure we have a university that will be competitive and of high standard and will be competitive without conflicting with the intention of the chancellor of the university.

In terms of enrichment, I am also working to see that this university can function well without finance . It will be an illusion for any VC in a faith-based university to think that manna will fall from heaven or that the church will continue to pump money into the school. Another challenge is the unusual increase in the prices of items. For instance, when I came on board, we were buying diesel for N300 per litre. Presently, it is above N800. Funding is also a challenge. Parents that ought to pay their children’s school fees are also part of society. When the price of diesel is going up and companies are closing down, it affects the parents, and also directly affects the university.

It will say it is providence. I never thought I would become the VC of AU. I felt that since I had been the VC of some universities before, I felt I had done enough. If school is scam, then what is success? Some people misuse words. If there are some degenerates in schools, it does not make school a scam. If education is scam, then people should try ignorance. We will know which of them is a scam. It is not school that is scam, it is people degenerating and going the wrong way that is the problem. If there is no school, the world will be very dark. Going to school enlightens one’s mind. It gives people the skills for survival.

Hater! Can you mention any of these atrocities?

With many atrocities he committed when he the EKSU VC for almost 4 years before he was removed by fayemi in 2018. He still gets mouth to talk. What a shame! Arrant nonsense
