The National Universi­ties Commission (NUC) has given approval for the full-time mode of the LL-B Law programme for Caleb University, Imota, Lagos State.
The development was contained in a letter from the Council, dated February 10, 2021 and signed for the NUC Executive Secretary by Dr. N.B Saliu, Director of Academic Planning.
This followed the earlier resource verification of the council’s panel of experts to the university with a view to accessing the human and material resources available for the establishment of the programme.
The letter further stated that the Executive Secre­tary had considered and approved the establishment of the full-time mode of the LL-B Law programme to be run in the Magodo City campus of the university with effect from 2020/2021 academic session.
The approval, which did not cover the part-time mode of delivery of the pro­gramme, according to the NUC, should bear only the approved titles and nomen­clature and that any change would require the approval of the commission
In his reaction, the pro­prietor of the university, Dr. Ola Adebogun, noted that he was particularly happy about the development, saying that the huge infra­structural development and quality of lecturers at the College of Law would make it second to none in no dis­tant time
He stated that the ap­proval given to the univer­sity’s law programme was an indication of the rising profile of the institution, the credibility of its aca­demic and co-curricular programmes, and the uni­versity’s actual and poten­tial impact on the wider society.
Adebogun further stressed that the accred­itation status of the pro­grammes and the quality of the university’s operating system had been attested to by the NUC, the Joint Ad­missions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and various professional bodies, add­ing that efforts were being made to add other new pro­grammes at both the under­graduate and postgraduate levels.
