The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oyelana Olatunji in his address to the staff and students of the University during the closing ceremony of the Social and Management Scientists Forum which was held at the University campus from Wednesday 17th to Friday 19th broke the news of the NUC final approval for the immediate commencement of part-time academic programmes in the University. This was a sequel to the request earlier submitted to the regulatory body at the beginning of the year. The need to fully implement the mandate as contained in the Academic Brief, and with the increase in demands by concerned individuals, interested groups and the general public made the inclusion of this part-time mode in our educational programme inevitable, according to the Vice-Chancellor. The listed academic programmes will run within the part-time stream: B. Sc Accounting, B. Sc Economics, B. Sc Business Administration, B. Sc Psychology and B. A English.
The Vice-Chancellor reiterated the urgent need to extend the opportunity for university education to millions of Nigerians who are presently on a form of livelihood. This is hoped to equip the beneficiaries with appropriate knowledge and skills set essential in their respective chosen career without having to leave their jobs. The Vice-Chancellor seized the opportunity to commend the Chancellor, Chief Christopher Ikechi Ezeh MFR who at a number of fora expressed his desire to extend opportunity for University education to the teaming youth, and young men and women who may have to work to support their education, and whose O’ level certificates may have passed the acceptable grace period to secure admission into universities through UTME and JAMB.
The Vice-Chancellor attributed the success of this endeavour to the collective will and commitment of staff who worked relentlessly to ensure the readiness of the programme curricular and course outlines and the policy framework which were essential for the successful implementation of the programmes. According to the Vice-Chancellor, each of the part-time programmes will be for a 6-year duration. The curriculum is spread across twelve (12) academic semesters with special online facilities to enhance special modes of teaching and learning. The Director, Academic Planning Directorate and the respective Heads of Departments where the programmes are domiciled have been requested to submit a working document for the successful take-off of the programmes by October this year.
The Vice-Chancellor enjoined all members of the University community, including staff and students to spread the good news to family members and friends and members of the public by sharing the information on their personal and group social media handles. The University Management on its part has concluded an arrangement to partner with scores of government agencies and business organizations within and outside of Lagos on the need to commit adequate resources to enable their staffs to take advantage of the opportunity the programme offers.
The Registrar in his remark appreciated the Chancellor, Chief Christopher Ikechi Ezeh and all those that contributed to making the vision a reality. He further advised that all hands must be on deck so as to continue in the same spirit of togetherness and hard work in order to jointly move the University to its expected destination of academic excellence.
Christopher University, Mowe achieves a milestone with the hosting of the second (2nd) International Annual Conference of the Social and Management Scientists Forum from 17TH-19TH August 2022 for the second year running. The maiden edition of the Conference was equally held on its campus exactly a year ago, precisely on 18th August 2021.
The thrust of the Conference was ‘Improvement of the National Gross Domestic Product through integrated sub-regional economies’. Therefore, the theme of this conference was ‘Linking Theory to Practice towards the Attainment of Sustainable Development Goals.
The Conference covers a whole range of topical and emerging issues in business fundamentals and practices, particularly in Nigeria and other sub-regional economies of West Africa. The volatility of the financial sector and its impact on the performance of the economy, as well as, the instability of the sub-regional trade and investments require urgent discussions on the way forward was the main goal. The research papers presented addressed issues relating to transnational trade models and demographic distribution, digital entrepreneurship and the growth and performance index of small and medium scale enterprises, building capacity in young African entrepreneurs, corporate governance failure, and loss of human and resource potentials of the African continent, to mention but just a few.
Christopher University, Mowe is proud to facilitate discussions on issues that have the potential of galvanizing a new social order and provide a blueprint for appropriate management practices that would foster positive economic development of African countries. The resource persons and facilitators were drawn from universities, industries, government agencies, and businesses from the informal sectors of the nation’s economy. The data generated from the presentations of over eighty peer-reviewed research papers at the different plenary will constitute the articles in the next edition of the University academic journal- The Christopher University Journal of Social and Management Scientists before the end of the year.
The Christopher University, Mowe entered into this research collaboration with the Social and Management Scientists Forum whose members cut across national and regional borders in order to establish a lasting synergy that will provide the platform for academics, industry professionals, and young scientists in Africa to present the outcomes of their research to international audience yearly, for discussions and peer review. The essence of this synergy is to strategically position Christopher University as a bureau of statistics for the generation and storage of research data as it relates to all aspects of the national and regional economy.
Christopher University, Mowe was licensed by the National Universities Commission in 2015 and currently has fifteen academic programmes and fifteen departments spread across four academic Schools. The University boasts of modern teaching and learning facilities and state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories for research. The University hopes to commence its Law degree programme by October 2022 having received final approval from the regulatory agencies. The University plans to introduce the Nursing programme at the beginning of the 2022/23 academic session while academic programmes such as Basic Medical Sciences, Engineering and Environmental, and Earth Sciences will come on stream towards the end of 2023.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oyelana Olatunji in his opening address at the event espoused the urgent need for tertiary institutions and the industry to jointly sponsor and fund research endeavors that would be focused primarily on the needs of our nation state. This will help facilitate the development and integration of local initiatives that would engender the rapid emergence of a locally adaptable set of techniques capable of galvanizing the rapid agricultural and industrial development that our continent so desires. The Vice-Chancellor alluded to the strategic positioning of Christopher University as the ‘credible alternative to public universities’ having created the platform that will ensure a solid base for high-impact research, the inflow of industry funds, and the constant engagement of industry experts and professionals as equals and joint stakeholders in proffering enduring business models for African states.
The Vice-Chancellor opined that our nation-state and Africa can only enjoy long and lasting industrial development when a robust triple-helix partnership is established between University-Government-Industry to jointly initiate, fund, and executive research that meets local and national aspirations. He further canvassed for a national research focus and agenda for our nation and advised the government to set the ball rolling by setting the right policies, facilitating discussions, and bringing together stakeholders to draw up the road map that will subsequently guide our national science education policy and research agenda.
In his closing remarks, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Oyelana Olatunji enjoined the officials of the Association and all participants to take advantage of the new facts that will emerge from discussions at plenary to build new body of knowledge and know-how, and also to encourage the formation of new interest groups that will promote deeper research collaborations between sister institutions. He hoped that the outcomes from the Conference will provide excellent advocacy to government and stakeholders on a number of current issues about our economy and the social status of our nation-state. Concluding, the Vice-Chancellor advocated for a one-day workshop on research and grant writing to always precede the yearly Conference so as to build capacity in young scientists and academics. The conference ended with a joint communiqué on the essence of keying into global best practices in the management of our natural and human resources to enable us as a nation to compete effectively with developed nations.
Christopher University, Mowe, Ogun State achieves a milestone with an outstanding performance at the last NUC accreditation exercise which was held last year 2021. Going by the remark of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. OYELANA Olatunji, while addressing the meeting of the Principal Officers, members of the academic community and other stakeholders today Wednesday 4th May 2022, he confirmed the receipt of the report of the National Universities Commission (NUC) which granted the University FULL accreditation status in all the three (3) academic programmes, Viz: B. Sc Business Administration, B. Sc Psychology and B.A English & Literature.
According to the Vice-Chancellor, this NUC report brings to a total of fifteen (15) academic programmes with FULL accreditation status approved by NUC for the University. This is a landmark achievement with a hundred percent (100%) full accreditation in all the fifteen academic programmes approved by NUC in 2015. Prof. OYELANA Olatunji went down memory lane to reaffirm the readiness and commitment of the Chancellor of the University, Chief Christopher Ikechi EZEH, MFR to reposition the University for excellence and global appeal. It is the vision of our Chancellor to project Christopher University as the credible alternative to public tertiary institutions in Nigeria and Africa, especially in the provision of modern and state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities, and by engaging world-renowned academics and professionals to deliver on this mandate.
He reiterates the need for the University to move quickly to commence postgraduate studies in all the academic programmes that have received FULL accreditation status. He assured the academic community on the completion of plans to introduce a number of additional undergraduate programmes in the Environmental Sciences (Architecture, Quantity Surveying, Geology, Building Technology and Urban and Regional Planning), Medicine, Nursing, Software Engineering, Information Technology and Cyber Security before the close of the year.

The report of the Resource Verification assessment carried out by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria was received a week prior to the commencement of the first semester examinations last April 2022. The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. OYELANA Olatunji, made this known while addressing some students who just returned from their semester holiday on Wednesday 27th April 2022 at the University Law Auditorium. The University received the official pronouncement through a letter from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria of its approval and induction of our great University as an affiliate member institution.
Prof. OYELANA, Olatunji further reiterates the implication and benefits of this new status which was conferred on the University as an affiliate of ICAN while taking questions from the students. He affirmed that the Accounting students automatically become registered members of the ICAN Institute, and are strategically positioned to partake and benefit from quality professional services, training, and scholarships. This synergy between our great University and ICAN will afford our students the services of members of the Institute who are professional Accountants, for training and academic advisory purposes.
The Vice-Chancellor further explains that the Accounting curriculum will further be enhanced and enriched through ICAN’s joint review of our courses to ensure students are provided with the right quality exposure and experiences essential for their future careers as professional accountants. The ICAN Institute equally donated major accounting books, journals, and periodicals to the University library to boost our library holdings, and this will provide our students with quality reference materials.
This early exposure to Accounting principles and practices and ICAN certification upon graduation will provide our Accounting graduates a competitive edge in the labour market and a step ahead of their peers, as espoused by the Vice-Chancellor.
The University Bursar, Mr. Chinedu Ezeh who is also a member of the Institute, and a Chartered Accountant by profession was at hand to jointly receive the report of the Institute with the Vice-Chancellor.
