The National Universities Commission (NUC) has granted full accreditation to Elizade University, Ilara Mokin to run Architecture.
A statement by the university’s Head of Public Relations, Mr. Williams Olufunmi, said this was contained in an approval letter by the commission signed by the Ag. Director of Accreditation, Engr. Abraham Chundusu on behalf of the Executive Secretary.
This is coming on the heels of the commission’s approval a fortnight ago to the University to run a full-time Doctoral degree, Ph.D; Masters in Engineering, M.Eng and Postgraduate Diploma, PGD in Civil Engineering programs with effect from the 2024/2025 academic session.
This is based on the outcome of the resource verification visit by a panel of experts from the National Universities Commission to the University.
The Ag. Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission who conveyed the approval in a memo to the Vice Chancellor, Professor Kayode Thadius Ijadunola, felicitated Elizade University on the stride and charged the Institution to continue on the part of its provision of adequate human and material resources for the development and growth of the approved programs.
It will be recalled that the visiting team of the Commission to Elizade University had during the assessment praised the huge Infrastructure outlay of the Institution.
Leader of the Team, Prof Mohammed Babagana, accompanied by Mrs Tunrayo Jolaoso expressed satisfaction with the structures on the ground, the maintenance culture, and the clean, serene, and conducive learning environment.
The team observed that the Engineering undergraduate program which had already been accredited is running well both in equipment and teacher-student ratio which have even surpassed global recommendations.
Prof Babagana encouraged Elizade University not to rest on its oars in acquiring more equipment as it positions itself for global competitiveness.
According to him, Elizade University is doing well and will become a force to be reckoned with beyond Nigeria.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof Ijadunola, lauded the Visiting Team for their thorough and unbiased assessment of equipment, staff and infrastructure.
He said Elizade University is poised to continually deliver on its mandate of producing wholesome graduates and postgraduates who are not only employable but are ready-made employers through its entrepreneurial skill sets which are in high demand in the global market.
The University’s Registrar, Mr Omololu Adegbenro said the University is not compromising on discipline and standards in ensuring that its graduates impact not only their generation but generations to come as role models in academics and morals.
The approved Architecture, and the postgraduate programs which are at Ph.D, M.Eng and PGD levels in Civil Engineering, will operate on the University campus, with admission portals now opened at www.elizadeuniversity.edu.ng
