Prof. Razaq Kalilu, the interim Vice Chancellor of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, disclosed the addition of six new degree programmes to the university, including Mass comm.
This was disclosed by Kalilu to the audience during the closing remarks of the University’s 16th convocation event, which took place on Tuesday within the Great Hall of the building in Ogbomoso.
He emphasised that the institution’s academic perspective was quickly evolving in an effort to accomplish the mission of the university and the vision of Governor Seyi Makinde, who was visiting the campus.
“The university established the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences with four academic programmes a year ago,” the VC stated. We have added six more new degree degrees to that faculty this year: political science, theatre arts, Yoruba, linguistics, psychology, and mass communication. Additionally, a faculty of law has been formed to administer a legal degree curriculum.
“In March of this year, all seven of the recently launched programmes underwent Resource Verification in order to receive permission from the National Universities Commission. As soon as we have NUC approval, we intend to begin admitting students for these programmes for the current academic year. He said.
Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the institution’s Governing Council, Prof. Ayodeji Omole, urged the graduates in his speech to represent the university well.
As you collect your degrees, keep in mind that you are representing your university’s values—knowledge, honesty, quality, service, and progress—rather than merely being LAUTECH graduates. With pride, hold the torch of knowledge, and let your deeds speak loudly about the kind of education you have received. Omole suggested.
