The Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State,
has lost accreditation for four of the courses offered in the institution.
The National Universities Commission reportedly
suspended the university’s law, dentistry, medical rehabilitation, and botany
programmes, The Cable reports.
Prospective students who selected any of the four
courses in the just-concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination have
been asked to change their course or institution.
A message was sent to the candidates by the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board to inform them of the changes.
“Your first choice course did not receive
accreditation. Login to your profile and change course/institutions,” the
message read.
This is not the first time the institution is
experiencing this as the accreditation of the Law Faculty was previously
withdrawn in 2006.
The Cable notes that there are also reports that botany never
got full accreditation since its inception as a course at the university.
The institution’s spokesperson, Mr Abiodun Olarenwaju,
confirmed the development to The
Cable.
Olarenwaju, however, said the withdrawal of
accreditation would be sorted out by September.
“We are going to sort it out, latest by September, and
everything will come back to shape,” he was quoted as saying.
