The Episcopal Church of South Sudan and Sudan is establishing a university in Juba with branches in other states, an official discloses.
Reverend Dr Joseph Bilal, the Project Manager of the Episcopal University tells CRN in an interview that procedures of the opening of Episcopal University are underway.
The church is processing all requirements needed for university registration by the Ministry of Education.
Episcopal Church Archbishop, Dr Daniel Deng Bull is the chairperson of the upcoming institution, the official says.
The faculties of the Episcopal University will include Theology, Education, Business Administration, Engineering and Information Communication Technology and Agriculture, the Project Manager says.
He says the operation of the Episcopal University depends on response from the Ministry of Education.
