As to the importance of these new schools, Father Anyanwu told the press that “In creating these new schools the church is basically responding to the signs of our time. Law we are talking about today is human dignity, respect for one another, justice. So the church has something to contribute in this regard. We are also talking about Journalism and Communication. Today there is an upsurge of the modern means of communication so the church is also there to give directives through these specialized courses on an authentic form of journalism. There is also a quest for education. Today there are many schools and many teachers; we also need experts who will be able to teach and to influence the lives of young persons positively”
