EDITORIAL PAGE!!!THE SUNBIRD UNIVERSITY IS FOREVER

BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU,LAGOS,NIGERIA...

When Abdulmumini ireyi Adeku had gone to the offices of the Sunbird African Media Limited ,Lagos,Nigeria,owners of The Difference Newspapers ,a Pan African affairs related journal  for a job he had thought to himself back then that he was just going to work in just yet another media outfit...

However ,on settling in at the time ,May,2009 ,he had met a burgeoning  Citadel of international Journalism ,he knew little about the real dynamics  of the global press at the time and needed the tutelage of the Founder of the outfit,Mr Richard Mammah to put him through...

From its fledging offices  at Odunukan Avenue  in Oregun ,Lagos,Nigeria at the time ,the company built a huge well of goodwill through her titles like  The Reading Club Initiative and associated literary projects nationwide, The Difference Newspapers, The Difference En francais [Nigeria's only known French reporting Newspapers],The Africa Day Journal ,The Africa Day Colloquium  and other specially produced extracts like The Pointer Newspapers ,owned by The Delta State Government as at then ,The New Diplomat :a newspaper  focusing on the globe but targeted at addressing investments to the  Niger Delta  region of Nigeria ,published by Mr Oma Djerba and of course :The Focus on African Nations Summit :a monthly lecture series.

Mr Mammah 's proven competence as an astute media captain was also not in any doubt when Prince Emeka Obasi called on him to help him in Midwifing The Hallmark and Business Hallmark Newspapers at one time or the other in that brands history..

Mace Associates Limited,Lagos,Nigeria,also believed to have being founded by Mr Mammah has helped to nurture and produced several literary figures in the country aside from the Founder of the brand  been an established author himself...

Mammah's newest book and a literary masterpiece at that ,Nanna's Diary  is causing a lot of ripples  globally as far as the literary Art world is concerned ...

So when Mr Abdulmumini Adeku left the Sunbird Media in 2013 to re-open his own private business:The E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria..he was soon engaged by the same firm on a consulting basis albeit pro-bo-no..

It was no surprise   however when Mr Richard Mammah invited him to Join other investors and promoters of a project that he had nurtured at heart which was now to see the reality of the day:The Sunbird University ,also fondly called The Difference International University,Lagos,Nigeria...

The News office Desk of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria .,can authoritatively reveal to its readers that  the collation of information leading to the publication  of a prospectus for the brand is already with the Founder,Mr Richard Mammah...

He has also  commissioned for further information to be submitted for the brands online e-learning initiatives, virtual campus architecture to be made available  to him sooner than later..

Both Mammah and Adeku apart from been businessmen and Journalists with a bias for the academia have a lot of contribution based on professional competence and the presence of several other investors and academic authorities on ground who can make the project not just  a reality but a very huge success..

Based on media audit or content analysis,The News office Desk of the E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria can say that The Difference Newspapers is like The Der Spiegel Newspapers of Germany as far as Pan African News based Journalism is concerned..

While the newspaper outfit started trading sometimes in the year 2006/2007 ,The African Day Fiesta,its colloquium ,publications and of course lecture series started sometimes in 2015..

Both Sunbird Africa Media Limited ,The E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria have several years of working together in between them as corporate or commercial  associates  exchanging content ,ideas and other  capacity building strategies ..

Both organizations    are globally renowned for churning out A-list reports which has being used to the benefits of corporate Turks ,bureaucrats, politicians and government officials locally and globally...

Save for regulatory body approval ,The proposed project fashioned after Ashesi University of Ghana according to Mr Mammah's blueprint already offers such platforms for seminars, conferences, workshops, lectures and research to anybody in attendance even without any form of academic certification  as this is the role of universities globally..

Feelers suggests formal academic lectures,admission of students,opening of its virtual campuses,e-library initiative,The School's Senate will not happen until sometimes in and around 2023/2024 session at the earliest..

when fully operational ,academically ,The Sunbird University is expected to fully hit the ground running  in contribution to the growth of the nation and the international community..

Communication parameters like The Vision Statement, The Mission Statement, The Brands official Color ,organ ogram ,Campus Mapping are all embedded  in the blueprint with Mr Richard Mammah...

The Brand logo or official Crest of the brand which should include The Sunbird insignia will soon be worked upon in earnest..

It would appear that the proposed school will start on a University College model before going full blast  after proper incubation  with a more experienced school  or better still it will go full blast upon opening up of its doors to academic operations..
