Abstract

ABSTRACT The Federal Government of Nigeria started to charter private universities in the country in 1999. Thus far, Nigeria has forty-two (42) private universities. The main aim of government in giving charter to these private institutions was to supplement the efforts of the public universities in the area of admission of millions of qualified Nigerian youths who could not secure admission into the existing public universities. Many citizens, particularly the relatively rich ones also saw the step as one that could sanitize the then ugly trend in the public universities which were bedeviled with incessant strikes, frequent closure, unpredictable calendar and cultism among other ills. While some of these private universities are owned by individuals or groups, some are established by religious organizations â€“ Christian and Islamic. This paper focuses on the role the Christian universities, in particular, have played so far in the prevention and management of anti-social behavior among youths. A descriptive research method was adopted for this study. Findings reveal that these universities have found solutions to the causes of many of the reported crises in our public universities from 1949 up-to-date. The trend has made our youths to study in a peaceful atmosphere where faith is integrated with learning. The paper concludes that this laudable efforts should be complemented by Nigerian religious leaders (Christian and Islamic) to get the countryâ€™s future leaders prepared to serve the people with the fear of God.
