He said: “On behalf of Management and Senate, we sincerely appreciate all our team members in the various colleges for the new programmes and the mileage we have added as a university. This is a sign of many more good things to come, a time to rededicate ourselves to greater works and greater heights, a time for us to rejoice at the opportunity for personal and corporate academic and professional development.  This is more so as we begin to add postgraduate programmes that will grant opportunities for those yet to have their PhDs to have it within institutional framework for excellence.
