NUC Directs Bowen University to
Commence Postgraduate Programmes:
The Executive Secretary of National
Universities Commission (NUC), Prof.
Julius Okojie, on Tuesday in Abuja,
directed Bowen University, Iwo (BUI) in
Osun State to start postgraduate
programmes.
Okojie gave the directive when the
newly-appointed Vice-Chancellor of the
university, Prof. Matthew Ojo, paid him
a familiarisation visit.
According to him, Bowen University has
come of age to commence postgraduate
programmes.
He said: “The commission has a policy
that a university can only begin post
graduate programmes one year after it
has graduated its first set of students
from the same programme.’’
The NUC boss added that the Nigerian
University System (NUS) could still be
rated high in academics, nothing that the
job of a vice chancellor was a
prestigious one.
He, therefore, urged the vice chancellor
to be anticipatory, especially in staff
welfare and advised him to be firm and
fair to earn the respect of the staff of
the institution.
