According to him, the arrangement was sealed in the Executive Chairman's Office when the Director of Development of the University, Dr  Frank Wiggle, paid a courtesy visit to the council.

Wiggle in his remarks during the visit commended the chairman  for his commitment to educational development which is one of the reasons the University was stretching its hands of partnership.

The Director said the students would be taught by the Undergraduate  students  and Staff  of Pan Atlantic University within the  top citadel of learning complex.

He added the local government would take care of other logistics during the process.

According to him, the programme is scheduled to begin before the end of April, and subjects to be taught are, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, English Language, Economics and Mathematics respectively.
