ENGINEERING COURSE NOW ADDED TO LISTS OF COURSES IN UNIABUJA
The National Universities Commission
(NUC) on Tuesday announced the
accreditation of Medicine, Veterinary
Medicine, and Agriculture. The
commission also announced the approval
for Engineering courses for the University
of Abuja.
The Chairman of the Task Team on the
accreditation of the College of Medicine
and Visiting Professor to NUC, Eugene
Okpere, made this known when the team
for the accreditation of the four courses
that were suspended did a tour of
facilities at the university.
Mr. Okpere said that with the full
accreditation for medical and agricultural
courses and interim accreditation for
veterinary medicine, all was now set for
the take-off of the programme.
Explaining the status of engineering, the
don said even though the programme had
been in existence for several years, it had
only just been approved by the NUC and
should now start the process of gaining
accreditation.
He said NUC was now convinced that the
university had the capacity to run the
courses.
“We are happy to say that University of
Abuja is more than ready to run these
courses and the facilities we see here are
even superior to those in other teaching
hospitals,” he said.
The Minister of Education, Professor
Ruqayyatu Rufa’i, had in April 2012
announced the suspension of the four
courses after the Needs Assessment (the
panel set up to assess needs of
universities) visited the university.
Students of the university, led by the
Engineering students, had protested the
non-accreditation of courses in the
university leading to violence and closure
of the institution for several months.
When the school was eventually re-
opened, the Engineering students were
transferred to other nearby public
universities.
The vice chancellor of the university, Prof.
James Adelabu, said management had to
put in place all the necessary facilities for
accreditation with the full cooperation of
NUC because it became a subject of
national importance.
prof. Adelabu said that aside gaining
accreditation, the university was also
working with professional bodies, adding
that the Medical and Dental Council of
Nigeria had visited the university for
verification, and expressed satisfaction
with what was on ground.
Explaining the fate of engineering
students transferred to other universities,The outgoing vc
prof. james Adelabu said some of them had yet
to resume academic work due to time
difference in sessions.
“Those that have not been accepted in
those universities will come back to
University of Abuja and we will see what
courses they can fit into.
“The journey to get to where we are
today has not been easy, but we thank
God that all is now over,” the VC said.

UNIABUJA SUSPENDS STRIKE
The Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Universities, University of Abuja branch, Mr Ben Ugheoke, on Tuesday in Abuja said the body has suspended the strike by its members.

Ugheoke told the News Agency of Nigeria in a telephone interview that the decision was taken on Monday during a congress held at the institution’s mini-campus.

He said, “We resolved at the congress to suspend the strike after signing an agreement with the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Micheal Adikwu.

“The announcement on this will be done Tuesday morning.”

The ASUU branch embarked on the strike on June 2, following what it called “Federal Government’s refusal to release the White Paper containing issues affecting the institution”.

The Federal Government had on July 16, 2012 constituted a Visitation Panel to resolve issues affecting the institution but the White Paper of the report was yet to be released.

Ugheoke said the signed agreement involved the release of the White Paper, and that the Vice-Chancellor has assured the union that he would work towards ensuring its release.

He, however, said the recall of students to the campus was a decision to be made by the University Senate.
