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. He advised the public and interested graduate students to be on the lookout for the commencement date for postgraduate studies which he put at the beginning of the next academic session.

The Registrar of the University, Barrister Aloysius Udeoke in his remark extends the gratitude and appreciation of staff and students to the members of the University Governing Council and Board of Trustees for their unflinching commitments and dedication to the University. He enjoins all members of staff to work hard and remain steadfast in order to achieve the aspirations of the founding fathers and sustain the University’s enviable position nationally and globally.

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 27^th 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. He expresses the appreciation of the Management and that of the Chancellor, Chief Christopher Ikechi Ezeh, MFR to the officials of the Institute for their astuteness in ensuring and sustaining the mandate of the Institute over the years and for the membership status accorded to our great University.

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved three additional programmes at Christopher University. The approval was given through a letter signed by the Director, Academic Planning, Dr. N. B. Saliu.

The letter of approval from NUC comes after a visit to Christopher University, Mowe last year, when the material and human resources available were inspected. Executive Secretary (NUC) in the letter to the Univetsity stated that the body has considered and approved the establishment of the full-time mode of the following undergraduate programmes to be run in the Main Campus of the university effective from 2020/2021 academic session:

1. B.Sc. Computer Science

Admission into the newly approved programmes has commenced. Interested candidates can visit the school website – www.christopheruniversity.edu.ng/applynow.php for further information.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced on Tuesday night – 6th February 2018, on their official website that the 2018 UTME registration has been extended to midnight of Sunday, 11th February 2018.

The statement reads: JAMB as a responsive organization has taken the decision albeit with great hesitation to accommodate candidates who failed to register between the two months window period that ended at midnight of Tuesday, 6th February, 2018. The failure of these candidates to register is unfortunate and the Board hastens to add that this culture of impunity will not be tolerated henceforth. Indeed penalty will be imposed for late registration from the next session. UTME candidates are therefore strongly advised to take advantage of the extension to register as a request for further extension would not be entertained.

Registration for Direct Entry candidates however continues. For emphasis, 2018 UTME registration now closes at midnight on Sunday, 11th February 2018
