The National Universities Commission (NUC) has given full accreditation to all the academic programmes in the Faculties of Law, Dentistry, Basic Medical Sciences and Social Sciences of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), OAU Public Relations Officer, Mr Abiodun Olarewaju stated this today in a statement, adding that NUC had fully accredited all the programmes.
Reacting, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Eyitope Ogunbodede said that the efforts of the Governing Council, Senate and Staff of the institution had assisted, in much greater measure, in putting all the necessary facilities in place, which eventually culminated in the accreditation of all the courses, particularly those with initial outright denial or partial accreditation.
“With the latest accreditation of 42 undergraduate programmes, all the 107 programmes in the university are now accredited”, he said.
Ogunbodede pledged that his administration would put in more efforts at ensuring the sustenance of the high moral, academic and cultural standards which the university was noted for.
He called on stakeholders in the education sector to do all within their powers to assist the university in putting in place more structures and infrastructure, adding that such support will enhance the full realisation of the dream of the founding fathers of the institution.
