Redeeemer’s University Graduate Recruitment 2012

Redeemers Univerisy is set to recruit for Various Graduate Positions.It has always been the desire of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to make a positive impact of University education in Nigeria, convinced that University education can play a significant role in the social and technological development of a nation. The existence of Decree No 19. of 1984, which proscribed and banned the establishment and operation of private universities, prevented the realization of this desire.
However, the promulgation of a new Decree in 1993 by Federal Government opened the way for RCCG’s involvement in university education. This decree allowed private individuals or organizations to establish universities in Nigeria, provided they meet the criteria laid down by the Federal government through the National Universities Commission.
The objective of the RCCG in initiating the University project is not only to increase the number of Nigerian youths seeking higher education, but also to arrest the decay in teh educational system, through appropriate training. This is in line with the vision of Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of RCCG for the Redeemer’s University.
