The vision of the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Dr Yahaya Bello, for establishing Confluence University of Science and Technology, CUSTECH, Osara, as a hub for science and technology education in the state, and of course region at large, has been further boosted with the National Universities Commission, NUC, accrediting the teaching and learning of Medicine and Law at the institution.

This significant development marks a pivotal moment in the young varsity’s history, reflecting the institution’s commitment to academic excellence and broadening of its educational offerings.

The university has, since its inception, made remarkable progress in creating a conducive environment for teaching, learning, research and innovation.

The latest addition of law and medicine to its curriculum showcases a significant expansion of CUSTECH’s academic portfolio, catering to the diverse educational needs of its student population.

The accreditation process of NUC is quite rigorous with the aim to ensuring that programmes meet the highest standards of quality in curriculum design, faculty qualifications, and infrastructure.

CUSTECH’s successful accreditation is a testament to its preparedness and dedication to providing top-tier education.

The new programmes are expected to attract students from across Nigeria, eager to benefit from the university’s state-of-the-art facilities and experienced faculty.

Yahaya Bello’s vision for CUSTECH as the then Kogi State governor was not only to enhance the state’s educational landscape, but also to address the broader national demand for quality education in critical academic and professional fields.

The introduction of law and medicine programmes aligns with this vision, promising to produce professionals who will contribute significantly to the nation’s legal and healthcare systems.
