Asari-Dokubo establishes own university, names it after King Amachree
The leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Muhajid Asari- Dokubo has joined the swelling rank of private university proprietors with his
establishment of a university in the
neighbouring Republic of Benin.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who already owns a soccer academy in the West African country and another one in Abuja, said the university, which will be known as King Amachree African University, KAAU,
had already been accredited to
commence degree programmes beginning September 2014.
He told PREMIUM TIMES in an interview in Abuja that the proposed university, named after his ancestor, was a product
of his two existing institutions in Benin Republic, namely King Amachree Automobile/ICT Royal Academy and King Amachree Arts Academy. Both of them,
he added, currently award Diploma to their students.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo said he chose to
establish the institutions in Benin
Republic because he does not only live there, but has adopted it as his country.
“What we have now, we are awarding only diploma now. “By next September, Insha Allah, the university will start,” Mr.
Asari-Dokubo, who dropped out of
University of Calabar, he said.
“For now we have King Amachree
Automobile/ICT Royal Academy and King Amachree Arts Academy. Two of them were merged. We have merged the two of them into king Amachree African University.
“King Amachree is my great ancestor. He was king of the Kingdom of new Calabar.”
On his soccer academy, the 50 year old Mr. Asari-Dokubo, an indigene of Rivers State, who refused to be tagged a former militant, said it was established to train the youth in soccer free of charge.
“We plan to engage the youths. It is free. We have a soccer academy in Abuja and we have another one in Republic of Benin,” he said.
