Maduka University has achieved a feat as one of the few private universities in Nigeria to kick-off with about 800 students.
It is no longer news that Maduka University has kicked off with its academic activities, but what is rare is that the private university has just kicked off with approximately 800 students.
The statistics were revealed by the Vice Chancellor of Maduka University, Prof. Charles Ogbulogo in an interview with MySchoolNews TV. "We have admitted close to 800 students. As I speak to you today more than 500 students have paid their fees completely and it's a phenomenon for a new University to take off with this", Ogbulogo revealed.

The Vice-chancellor has linked this commendable outcome to the ability of her students to perceive the value the university is set to offer. Stating that he was glad to see that people could interpret their vision even without capital-intensive advertisements.
"We are very grateful to God for this. Particularly because people were able to interpret what we have in mind. It is one thing to have a vision is another thing to have an interpretation of it and don't forget we have not even gone to the television for adverts; it was just word of mouth and some flyers. How come we have found a place for a receptacle in the marketplace? It means that something is happening here", the Vice-chancellor boasted.

Further, Ogbulogo spoke on the staff strength of the university. Assuring MySchoolNews TV that the university has as many staff as the students need at the moment. "We are very conscious of what we can handle at a time. For example, if we have a class of 50 students and the staff-student ratio is 1:10, then we get them five teachers. If the ratio is 1:20 we get them the number they desire but some things are irreducible, you cannot reduce anything. We have the complete full complement of those who can service all our needs for now", he said.
