According to a copy of the Bill which was obtained by our correspondent in Abuja, the University shall be a training institution for the development of middle and high-level manpower in the areas of technological empowerment for civilians, appreciation for military policy; logistics and strategy.
The objectives of the University, according to the Bill, shall include to provide facilities for learning and give instruction and training in such branches of knowledge as the University may desire in order to ensure that students obtain the advantage of a liberal education.
The Bill states that the University is “aimed at promoting research and other means of advancement of knowledge and its practical application to military hardware and software, social, cultural, economic, scientific and technological situations.
“The University will also stimulate, particularly through teaching and research, interest in and appreciation of military policy, logistics and strategy.
“The University shall encourage and promote scholarship and conduct research in restricted fields of learning and human endeavour including entrepreneurship skills.
“It will also secure the diffusion of knowledge throughout Nigeria in general and the Nigerian Army in particular.
“The University shall have powers to offer courses of instruction, training and research in the advancement of knowledge for the production of middle and high-level manpower and other skilled personnel required in further development of Nigeria in particular and the world at large.
“It will establish such faculties, institutes, schools, colleges, centres, extra-mural departments and other units of learning and research within the University as the University may from time to time deem necessary or desirable subject to the approval of the National Universities Commission, among others.
“The University shall be supervised by the Federal Ministry of Education and shall through the National Universities Commission (NUC) be responsible for approving and regulating all academic programmes run in the University.”
This according to the Bill would ensure quality compliance and provide funds for academic and research programmes, infrastructure and remunerations of employees.
The Bill also abolished catchment area syndrome being adopted by conventional universities for the proposed institution.
It added that: “No person shall be required to satisfy requirements as to race, including ethnic grouping, sex, place of birth, family origin, religious or political persuasion, as a condition for becoming or continuing to be a student in the University.
