Professor Esimone said because of the importance of the program, the university is considering starting the program online, to fill the void.

He added that the efforts of the management of the university has made a great leap into the first one thousand universities in the university ranking, as against being above number two thousand previously.

The Vice-Chancellor also enumerated measures taken to ensure the quality of teaching in the University to include the introduction of the clock-in and clock-out system, monitor lectures and students in examination using CCTV to ensure the lecturers are doing their job and to also stop students from cheating during examination.
