He explained that the conception and the introduction of some of these upcoming programmes was part of the university’s way of responding to the environmental yearnings of the people, especially, in the areas of management and entrepreneurship skills.
The dean added that the postgraduate programmes would only take off after the graduation of the current set of the faculty’s undergraduates later in 2020.
He also said that the faculty had begun collaboration with relevant professional bodies for technical assistance, especially in the areas of curriculum, instructional material assistance and general supports.
According to him, the professional bodies include; the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), the Nigerian Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), the Nigerian Institute of Management, (NIM) and the Nigerian Institute of Marketing (NIMark).
