Authorities of the University of Ibadan (UI) on Saturday
said the National Universities Commission (NUC) has
approved the establishment of its School of Business.
This is contained in a statement by Mr Olatunji Oladejo,
the University’s Director of Public Communications and
made available to newsmen in Lagos.
The statement said the approval was conveyed to the
university in a letter signed by the commission’s
Director of Standards, Dr. G. Kumo.
It stated that the approval was sequel to the recent
resource evaluation visit carried out by a panel of
experts from the NUC to the university on its proposed
School of Business.
It said the panel had assessed the human and material
resources available for the establishment of the school.
“The school will run executive Masters in Business
Administration (MBA) with specialisation in
telecommunications, agribusiness, oil and gas,
effective from the 2015/2016 academic session,’’ it
said.
The statement also stressed that further inclusion of
options would require the express approval of the
commission.
“All programmes shall bear only the approved titles and
nomenclatures (MBA Telecommunications), etc and
any change will require the approval of the
commission.”
Meanwhile, the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof.
Isaac Adewole, has commended the NUC for the
approval.
