We call our educational vision "Making Many Mighty".
It was on, the 6th of August 2002 at 4.20am, whilst Archbishop was before the Lord in his Prayer Chambers that the Lord delivered to him the vision of Salem University. The vision was stirred up in October 2004 while in a Council Meeting. He proceeded to get the form which was the starting point of series of activities that led to the approval and licensing of the Salem University on 17th of May, 2007 by the Federal Government of Nigeria. As a Christian University, we intend to model our students on the teachings of JESUS.
The vision of Salem University is to be a center of excellence for the production of graduates who are worthy in learning and character as well as sound in mind, body and spirit for outstanding leadership and global impact.
