The National Universities Commission (NUC) has accredited five additional academic programmes at Salem University Lokoja, Kogi.<\/p>\n
The vice-chancellor, Alewo Johnson-Akubo, disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Lokoja on Friday.<\/p>\n
He said the approval was conveyed to the institution via a letter dated June 6 and signed by the acting director of accreditation, Abraham Chindusu, on behalf of the NUC acting executive secretary, Chris Maiyaki.<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson-Akubo said the development followed the NUC\u2019s earlier accreditation of seven other programmes run by the university in 2022.<\/p>\n
The vice-chancellor listed the courses as BSc Computer Science, BSc Information Technology, BSc Geology, BSc Microbiology, BSc Biochemistry, and MSc\/MBA Business Administration.<\/p>\n
The five recently accredited courses in the University\u2019s College of Education include Business Education, Education Computer Science, Education English, Educational Management, and Social Studies.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cOnly last year we got the NUC\u2019s approval to run PhD programmes for the teaming Nigerian citizens and foreigners alike to boost education globally.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis accreditation is cheering news to us as a university, which is out to train the youths to become global leaders and change agents that will bring about the needed growth and development in nations across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson-Akubo added, \u201cToday, virtually all the courses being run by Salem University Lokoja are fully accredited, notwithstanding the rush for our courses by candidates desiring to study with us.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, with the kind of infrastructural development we have in place in Salem University, we have what it takes to admit more students into our various departments.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson-Akubo expressed gratitude to God and the Chancellor, Archbishop Sam Amaga, for making it possible for all the university programmes in the seven colleges to be fully accredited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
