The National Universities Commission (NUC) has granted full accreditation to Elizade University to run Architecture.
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 full-time Doctoral degree, Ph.D; Masters in Engineering, M.Eng and Postgraduate Diploma, PGD in Civil Engineering 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, 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 programmes.
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.
The Team-Lead, Professor Mohammed Babagana who was accompanied by Mrs Tunrayo Jolaoso expressed satisfaction with structures on ground, the maintenance culture as well as the clean, serene and conducive learning environment.
The team observed that the Engineering undergraduate programme which had already been accredited is running well both in equipment and teacher-students ratio which have even surpassed global recommendation.
Professor Babagana encouraged Elizade University not to rest on its oars in acquiring more equipment as its positions itself for global competitiveness.
According to him, Elizade University is doing well and will no doubt become a force to be reckoned with beyond Nigeria.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Kayode Thadius 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 on high demand in the global market.
Registrar of Elizade University, Mr Omololu Adegbenro said the University is not compromising on discipline and standards in ensuring that its graduates impact not only on their generation but generations to come as role models both in academic and morals.
The approved Architecture programme as well as the postgraduate programmes 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 elizadeuniversity.edu.ng/Home/ViewAdmission/9
