[CAMPUS OFOFO]:NUC Directs Bowen University To Start Postgraduate Programmes
The Executive Secretary of National
Universities Commission (NUC), Prof. Julius Okojie, on Tuesday in Abuja,
directed Bowen University, Iwo (BUI) in Osun State to start
postgraduate programmes.
Okojie gave the directive when the
newly-appointed Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Matthew Ojo,
paid him a familiarisation visit.
According to him, Bowen University has come of age to commence postgraduate programmes.
He said: “The commission has a policy
that a university can only begin post graduate programmes one year after
it has graduated its first set of students from the same programme.’’
The NUC boss added that the Nigerian
University System (NUS) could still be rated high in academics, noting
that the job of a vice chancellor was a prestigious one.
He, therefore, urged the vice chancellor
to be anticipatory, especially in staff welfare and advised him to be
firm and fair to earn the respect of the staff of the institution.
Responding, Ojo gave the assurance that
Bowen University would continue to comply with the regulations and
guidelines of the NUC.
He pledged that the university would
also continue to implement government policies toward providing quality
university education to Nigerians as he called for NUC’s continued
support.
