Good morning gentlemen of the press. I am pleased to welcome you to this special press briefing on the outcome of the recent Resource Verification Exercise conducted by the National Universities Commission on Academic Programmes the university intends to mount this 2018/2019 academic session.

In our resolve to expand access to education while maintaining academic excellence . we did not only present programmes in the Faculty of Management Sciences for Resource Verification by NUC.

We also included programmes in a newly establish Faculty of Computing. Postgraduate programmes were also presented for Resource verification.

This I must say is a major achievement of this administration. The expanded programmes will deepened access to education and bring variety ofcourses to prospecting students. Having achieved this, we would work assiduously to meet the challenges of NUC accreditation exercise when the time comes.

My next target is the establishment of Faculty of Education. This too I intend to achieve by the 2019/2020 Academic Session.
