Announcing the outcome of the 2012 accreditation at the 43rd regular Senate meeting of the institution, Prof Kolo said of the 19 programmes presented, 17 got full accreditation status. The Department of Business Administration got interim accreditation and would be revisited in two years.
He added that except for the Department of Public Administration that was denied accreditation, other departments met the standards of the NUC.
Prof Kolo said efforts were being made to represent the Public Administration Department for accreditation, adding that the newly-established programmes would be presented in 2014.
He urged the staff of the affected departments not to rest on their oars. He expressed displeasure over the lackadaisical attitudes of some academic staff to duty, advising them to live up to the standards expected of lecturers by participating fully in the academic work of the university.
In another development, the university has held a one-day orientation for freshers to align them with the rules and regulations of the school.
Speaking at the event, Prof Kolo charged the students to conduct themselves in an upright manner and shun acts that could breach the peace of the university.
He also advised them to be hard working and committed to their academic activities so that the investment of their parents would be justified. He added that the policy of rewarding good behaviour and hard work was still in place.
Speaking earlier, the chairman of the occasion, the Director, Entrepreneurship and Counselling Centre, Prof Frank Carew, warned students not to indulge themselves in anything that would not add value to their academic pursuit. He urged them to make good use of the conducive learning environment provided by the university to achieve their dreams.
Highlight of the event included lectures by the Dean, Student Affairs, Dr John Jiya and Director of Academic Planning, Dr Muhammad Mustapha . (The Nations)
