The campus-fifth in the world after Malaysia, Ethiopia, Germany and Sweden-is to be cited at University of Port Harcourt, and aims to build capacity of Nigerian students and young people on environmental issues
Dr. Monika Griefahn, co-chair of the board of trustees of Right Livelihood
Award Foundation and a former German minister of environment, was optimistic.
The Right Livelihood College “continues to make to make positive impact in the lives of young scholars and continues to build direct links between academics, laureates and the wider community,” she said.
RLC will be located at UNIPORT’s faculty of social sciences, which has welcomed it as a challenge.
“[UNIPORT] has remained a citadel of learning and in the best traditions of scholarship we see the opportunity to host the RLC campus as one that will challenge our scholars as well as connect them with their peers around the world,” said Dr Fidelis Allen on behalf of the faculty dean.
“We are pleased with HOMEF for making this partnership possible,” she added.
