Mountain of Fire Church Completes N2.5 Billion Private University

The proposed Mountain Top University has elected to adopt the nomenclature "College" rather than “Faculty” as practised in contemporary universities abroad as well as the newly established ones in Nigeria. At full capacity, MTU will have at least six (6) Undergraduate Colleges and a Postgraduate School. However, the University will take off with three Colleges consisting of courses that are not capital intensive and yet will make the University unique, innovative and responsive to the needs of the Nigerian society, especially in relation to industry, technology, food production and health. The Colleges at take-off (Phase I) are: College of Basic and Applied Sciences College of Environmental Sciences College of Management and Social Sciences Highlights of courses that are unique to MTU include degree courses in Insurance and Actuarial Science, Office Management and Secretarial Studies (including Bilingual Secretaryship) and the study of Information Technology with Business Administration, Marketing, Banking and Finance. Others are Landscaping, Horticulture, Manufacturing and Systems Engineering.  MTU plans to establish relationships with the relevant professional associations for each course being offered as a means of strengthening the quality of academic delivery as well as meeting the demands of the labour market. In every subject, practical work and applications will be emphasized and made compulsory. The students will be encouraged to engage in hands-on experience during their training such that they become entrepreneurially independent at graduation, i.e. being readily employable either in paid or in self employment.
