The new programmes include: B.Sc. Information Technology, B.Sc. Statistics, B.Sc. Cyber Security, B.A. Sharia, B.Sc. Public Administration and BLIS. Library and Information Science.
Mr Abubakar explained that the approval is contained in a letter from the NUC to the Vice-Chancellor of the university, which was signed by NUC’s director of academic planning, N. B. Saliu, on behalf of the executive secretary of the commission.
Mr Abubakar recalled that in April 2023, the university received six resource assessment panels from the NUC, consisting of 15 members, who assessed the resources available in the school to start offering the new programmes.
