Governor Adeleke, represented by the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Dipo Eluwole, stated, “The establishment of a university here in Modakeke is a milestone achievement, which aligns with our drive to boost the educational sector. While congratulating you once again, I charge you to ensure that the proposed university becomes one of the best in Nigeria — both academically and culturally.

The Founder of Curators University, Mr. Olusola Amusan, emphasised the role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in advancing tertiary education and promoting national development. He said, “We expect that there are structures we can build through public-private partnerships. For the university, there are education endowment funds, there are federal government funds, and in the area of loans, specifically, we believe that to get cutting-edge education, there’s a cost attached, and sometimes it could be premium.”
