Olanipekun noted that the recent closure of the university due to students’ unrest over late registration fee had been addressed.
He said students would be called upon to come and write their examinations very soon, in phases.
“I am happy to report that 70 (86.4 per cent) out of our 81 regular academic programmes have full accreditation by the NUC, while eight (9.88 per cent) programmes have interim accreditation and only one (1.23 per cent), has a denial. The remaining two are those that are yet to mature for accreditation,” he added.
