Gregory University Admission Update

Advertisements

Gregory University (GU) is a private university that is located in Uturu, Abia State. The Nigerian citadel of learning was named after Pope Gregory I, and it added to the number of higher institutions sitting in Abia State.

Like various other private universities in the country, getting admission into an institution like Gregory University is not as tough as what the case is when compared with federal and state higher institutions.

Nevertheless, Gregory University is a school that encourages hard works and pushes students to strive for academic excellence in their various fields of study.
