Lich University has 22 lecture halls with five Kenyan lecturers, with more expected to arrive this month.

Bob Odiambo, the vice chancellor of the university said on Sunday the staff and students had celebrated the arrival of four new professors.

The speaker of Unity state, Simon Maguek Gai said the university would be “very useful for the people of Unity state.”

The new professor John Paul Odero, who has ten years experience teaching in universities in Kenya, said that the set up of Lich University can be compared with Makerere University of Uganda, one of the best in East Africa.

Odero said that although many of the students “left their education for the war” he was still hopeful about their futures.

The high education committee will be coming to the state this month to assess the university.

    Great news. Lich University in Lich state or currently called Unity state, will be one of the best universities in South Sudan. Currently it is the only recognized and registered private university in the whole of South Sudan followed by Catholic university there in Juba.

    In deed great news to have a university in Unity (Lich)state, but the question is, where are you going to get the students to enroll? I have never heard of a secondary school in unity state to provide students for the university, hence a misplace idea of having the university.It is like putting the cart before the horse

    CONGRATULATION TO STATE AUTHORITIES AND THE NATIONAL GOVT.
    It’s a good steps forward to have LICH university to be registered higher education and this is a means to reduce illiteracy. but, let go back to Mr HOMEBOY who mentioned that there is no secondary students in this state.my friends if you are not ignorance and uneducated you cannot say this because no university can admit only it’s studen

    WELCOME TO LICH UNIVERSITY
    It seem some of the writers view this University as a state UNIVERSITY only and some are appreciating the role played by our government to have a registered University in south Sudan. one of the mistake made by state authorities is because the vice chancellor is a foreigner as there is no phd older in the state. he/she must be from the state or within south Sudan.

    This is an excellent job. we want universities in all ten states because we want to speed up literacy rate so that the nation has able people who tackle its problems educationally. Good job to governor of unity state and the whole of south sudan.

    The university welcome new staff. How can it be contacted? What is the address, email or telephone to call if someone want to submit an application?
