The Borno State University (BOSU) has secured the full accreditation of 28 out of 30 academic programmes being offered by the institution.
This is contained in a press statement signed by the outgoing Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Umar Sandabe, in Maiduguri on Thursday.
Professor Sandabe explained that the five-year-old institution has secured 100 per cent accreditation for its programmes.
According to him, the University has also commenced new degree programmes in Medicine, Radiography, Nursing, Biochemistry, Medical Laboratory and Health Information Systems to bolster medical professionals in the state and beyond.
The Vice Chancellor said that BOSU had also applied to National Universities Commission (NUC) and has commenced engineering and law programmes.
The first accreditation exercises for the 30 programmes in the university were conducted in November/December 2022 and the results were released in February 2023.
“The existing faculties graduated successful students, while faculty of agriculture, which is a 5-year programme, is expected to graduate its students in next academic year”.
He commended the Federal Government and some of its agencies, particularly Tetfund, North East Development Commission, and Federal Inland Revenue for their support in executing landmark projects at the young university.
Professor Sandabe also lauded the management team of the university for the support accorded him as the pioneer vice chancellor and urged his successor to always consult widely and ensure frugal management of resources.
