Published by

THE National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved the takeoff of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering degree programme at the Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete.

With this approval, KWASU has become the first Nigerian university to institute a degree programme in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering.

The Vice Chancellor, Professor Abdulrasheed Na’allah, disclosed this in a statement on Monday. He said that the institution had formally submitted an invitation to the NUC for accreditation, and gave the assurance that the university was fully ready for the exercise.

Professor Na’allah also congratulated and commended all the students and staff of the College of Engineering and Technology, particularly the Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, for “their hard work and patience which have led to this great success.”

KWASU’s College of Engineering and Technology currently offers courses in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Food, Agriculture & Biological Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering.

The administration of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has completed the construction of an N800 million Engineering Complex for the university, which is part of the state government’s efforts to promote engineering education.

With the International Aviation College (IAC) already situated in Ilorin, Kwara State is fast becoming the aviation hub in the country.
