On Sunday 8th of January, the
Federal Government issued a
directive forbidding 13
universities from offering Law and
Accounting courses.
It appears that this directive is targeted at
Universities of Agriculture and Technology.
According to the directive, the affected schools
running these courses do not have the mandate
to offer them.
It kind of makes sense, considering these
schools, by their design and direction, are more
tech-focused and less Humanities-focused.
The affected Universities of Agriculture include,
Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta
(FUNAAB), Federal University of Agriculture
Makurdi (FUAM), and Michael Okpara University
of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU).
On the other edge of the axe are the
Universities of Technology; Federal University of
Technology Akure (FUTA), Federal University of
Technology Owerri (FUTO), Madibbo Adama
University of Technology Yola (MAUTECH),
Ladoke Akintola University of Technology
Ogbomoso (LAUTECH), and Abubakar Tafawa
University of Technology Bauchi (ATBU).
Others include, Bells University of Technology
Ota (BUT), Rivers State University of Science
and Technology Portharcourt (RSUST), Enugu
State University of Science and Technology Enugu
(ESUT), Kano University of Science and
Technology Wudil (KUST), Cross River State
University of Tecnology Calabar (CRUTECH).
These changes are expected to happen with
immediate effect. http://pulse.ng/student/13-universities-banned-from-offering-law-and-accounting-id6041668.html
