The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved the commencement of nine new academic programmes for Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, starting from the 2024/2025 academic session.

The new programmes are Nursing Science, Public Health, and Medical Laboratory Science in the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences; Cyber Security, Data Science, Software Engineering, Information and Communication Technology, and Information Systems in the Faculty of Computing; while Food Science and Technology is housed in the Faculty of Agriculture.

In a letter addressed to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olugbenga Ige, dated 6th September 2024 and signed by NUC’s Acting Director of Academic Planning, Abubakar Girei, on behalf of the Executive Secretary, it was stated that the decision followed the consideration and subsequent approval of the reports and recommendations from verification visits by panels of experts on the readiness of the university for the proposed and now approved academic programmes.

In his reaction, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Olugbenga Ige, expressed his excitement over the development, describing it as “a fitting icing on the cake of the efforts put into the preparations for the new programmes.”

He further stated that the admission of qualified candidates would commence in earnest for the new programmes starting from this year’s academic session, as outlined in the NUC’s letter.

The Vice Chancellor also added that the management of AAUA has the human, material, and infrastructural resources necessary to teach the new programmes and produce graduates who would compete favorably with their peers globally.

He congratulated members of the university community for their efforts and cooperation, saying, “We are proud of this, and we thank every stakeholder who has made this possible.”
