Birthplace of Kings and Queens

Covenant University is a birthplace for Kings and Queens, it is a top class university in West Africa and top 3 in Nigeria. I loved the serene, modest and impactful environment. We were thought how to dress, speak, act and address people and our community in general. The university environment is very pleasing as compared to other universities in my country. Some things I didn’t like about the university were some strict policies which as growing adults would pose as a burden. This include the extreme spirituality, limited time to one’s personal growth e.t.c. Covenant University is a 101 % recommendation for me as a choice in tertiary education.
