UNIABUJA LISTED AMONG THE AUTHORIZED NIGERIA
UNIVERSITIES TO AWARD MASTERS & PhD.
Masters? PhD? Beware: NUC List Of Nigerian Universities With
Approved Postgraduate Programmes
The National Universities Commission has warned that only 58
of the universities in Nigeria have approval to run
postgraduate programmes
Only fifty-eight(58) Nigerian universities have approved post-
graduate programmes according to a list recently published
the National Universities Commission (NUC) in its bulletin.
According to the NUC, it is concerned that some universities
are running illegal postgraduate programmes.
“The National Universities Commission (NUC) has observed
with great concern that some Nigerian universities are running
unapproved postgraduate programmes, leading to the award

“The Commission has also observed that some Parastatals and
Institutes are awarding these same Postgraduate degrees,

unethical, but also antithetical to time-tested quality assurance
best practices.”

AN INTERVIEW WITH UNIABUJA VICE CHANCELLOR: PROF.
MICHAEL U. ADIKWU
I WILL MAKE SURE UNIABUJA BECOME A
RESEARCH ORIENTED – ADIKWU Said
Professor Michael U. Adikwu is the new Vice-
Chancellor of the University of Abuja. In this
interview with reporters at the university, the
new VC states his priorities and how he plans to achieve them.
Usman waziri was there.
Excerpts:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO RESOLVE THE
CRISES AT THE UNIVERSITY?
I am shocked when you are still talking about
crisis at the university. When I came here the
two unions were in strike. Are you
understanding me? The mood of the people here were very bad
before. But if you ask a few people now, the mood has been
improved and that the two unions have called-off their strikes. So
we are putting a lot of structures in place to make sure that
everybody is happy. Unfortunately, in any
organization not everybody that will be taking along.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR PROGRAMME OF
ACTION AT THE UNIVERSITY?
I have a lot of programmes. But it is very
difficult to summarize in one or two sentences. We are talking
about the university of 21st century.
Firstly, we ought to be ICT compliance, that is
the number one reason. Now, if you pass
along the road, the outlook of the university
especially the sign board of the university looks like that of a
secondary school. Infact, I have told the people to look at the sign
board and give us a befitting sign board. We ought to look at the
entire environment and see what we can do to improve on the
environment. The other thing is capacity building. At this
university, we need to
improve the numbers of staff in terms of capacity building. We do
know that what makes the university is not just teaching but
researching and teaching. And why most of the universities failed
it was in the area of research. So I will make sure University of
Abuja become a research oriented. So, if I have a little money
what I will do is to bring the people from the oversee who will
come to the university and help us to redefine researchable topics
as well work with us. There is a principle in life that when a
man has lost his appetite the best way to
make him to eat is to eat with others as he watches them he will
be able to eat. Infact, if you go to the oversee many of their
children are interested in social research so that they become
celebrities, but there are core people that are doing the research
to keep th. economy going. If you see all the gadgets you people
are using to interview me are not made in this country. But we like
enjoying the products of technology, so
we ought to change our orientation. We must learn on how to go
into deep research through capacity building. Secondly, I will
circulate information of both doctorate research. You see one of
the things that make the people idle here is that they do not travel.
If we make our researchers to go to the oversee and come back
and internalize this university the picture will changes.
WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO THE ENTIRE
STAFF OF THE UNIVERSITY?
My message to the staff of the university is
that everybody should be up and doing. The era of I do not care
has passed. If you are not willing, the trend will leave you.
THE UNIVERSITY IS BLESSED WITH THE
NATURAL RESOURCES THAT IS TO SAY
THERE IS VEST LAND. HOW DO YOU INTEND TO CONVERT THIS TO
INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUE?
We are looking at that, but the first thing to
do is to see if we can have perimeter fencing. Of recent, forty-five
cows made for researching and teaching we’re stolen from the
faculties of veterinary medicine and agriculture. So, it will be
difficult to even go into commercial agriculture here without first
of all securing this environment. There are a lot of things we can
do here, but we ought to talk about the security first.
HOW DO YOU INTEND TO HANDLE THE
ISSUE OF ADMISSION AT THE UNIVERSITY?
Now we have in place a well structured
admission now. Infact, the people are not
even considered the university of Abuja as they used
to do because of frequent changes here. But we ought to change
that picture.
SIR, I HAVE YOUR 37 POINTS AGENDA AT MY
DISPOSAL NOW. HOW DO YOU INTEND TO
REALIZE THEM?
The way of realizing those things is to work
hard. Put the structures in place. You can see
that today we are talking about distance
learning. Once we are able to generate the
fund, achieving those 37 goals will become easy. First of all, we
ought to break those goals into the implementable units. Once we
do that, implementing them become easier.

UNIABUJA 2014 Sandwich Student Matriculation on 27th of september, 2014.

Prof Odumuh charges UniAbuja sandwich students on school's rules, regulations ...

– Prof. Theresa Odumuh of the Faculty of Education, University of Abuja (UniAbuja), on Saturday in Gwagwalada, FCT, urged sandwich students to comply with the rules and regulations of the institution.
Odumuh gave the advice at the matriculation/orientation of sandwich students of the Institute of Education, UniAbuja.

According to her, ethics are set standards, expectations and aspirations of all educators and students are expected to comply with the stipulated rules and regulations.
She said that both students and lecturers had a collective responsibility to obey the rules and regulations, embrace and practise them.

“This will enhance the achievements of a qualitative education and give the teaching profession the honour and dignity it deserves.

“This will also make your stay in the campus fruitful and you will imbibe and receive the necessary preparation for your professional practice.
“So as professionals, so much is expected of you and your behaviour must reflect the ideals of the Nigerian society,’’ Odumuh said.

I am glad to inform great Uniabujites that the total renovations of the hostel have commenced - SUG President, PELUMI

• • The VC UNIABUJA, Michael Umale Adikwu has promised to revive Centre for Distance Learning Programme in the institution.

rakish: its so unfortunate,dats my dream course. The council of legal education released the status i tink last year october on there site after d first round of admissions(uniabuja),so it might take effect frm 2014 admission nt 2013 or has bin taken kia of by d skul. Trying to believe dat lol.

Both 13 and 14 set

willaiye: guy have they uploaded all the names becos I haven't seen mine yet and I passed the cutoff mark

Not the skul cut off mark its jamb cut off mark which we don't know...its only known to them....

rakish: so screening starts on the 13th and takes 3wiks(maybe),so it wil end early november? Or it can be done b4 13th?

Well the screening don't have a specific date for closure

maiquel: Poffi, kingobasi, etc, pls wat should we law students expect from the sch. I hear thr is no admission for law students for 2-3 yrs.Wats up wit dis.
Last yr when i first downloaded my admission letter, iit read that i'll study law for 4yrs, some mnths latr its been changed t 5yrs.

I don't know for ur guys oo, my source told me that law wunt give out admission for 2yrs cos of the probs dey have.... So they might change ur course @ the process of the screening... For that 4yrs or 5yrs stuff its a mistake from jamb......

rakish: Nawa o,on the 13th? I thought screening/clearance usually takes upto 2or3weeks? So screening/clearance/registeration wil take only 5days b4 lectures starts on 20th? Most universities i knw start screening freshers b4 resumption,wen the skul resumes they give a wik or mre for registeration. Nawa o 4 uniabuja

Yea uniabj gives 3weeks or more for the screening

The screening event will take place when
the new session begins, that's 12th of october and u all know that
12th is sunday so it will take place on monday that's 13th of
october that's if the new session begins then.... U can check ur
