.Some Nigerian universities have deviated
from their core courses. The Federal
Government has directed some of
universities to stop running programmes
that are outside their mandates.
Gaining admission is the core desire of
some Nigerian youths; they are blinded by
the persistent need to join their peers in
the university. They do not pay attention
to the courses being run by the schools in
as much as they get admitted.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has
looked into the academic sector by
forbidding some varsities to stop offering
major courses they are not at liberty to
run while they warned some of them to
stop changing the nomenclature of some
courses.
In truth, some courses have been twisted
to suit the need of the school and the
administrators. Courses like banking
engineering have been introduced into the
portal of some Nigerian universities.
Schools now offer courses that are not
within their mandates. Most of the
varsities affected are specialised schools
that offer law and accounting. These are
major courses that should not be listed in
the portal of schools that seek to fulfill the
need of manpower in certain sectors of
the economy.
Check out the specialized universities that
the FG has forbidden to offer courses like
law and accounting:
Universities of Agriculture
1. Federal University of Agriculture
Abeokuta (FUNAAB)
2. Federal University of Agriculture
Makurdi (FUAM)
3. Michael Okpara University of Agriculture
Umudike (MOUAU)
Universities of Technology
1. Federal University of Technology Akure
(FUTA)
2. Federal University of Technology Owerri
(FUTO)
3. Madibbo Adama University of
Technology Yola (MAUTECH)
4. Ladoke Akintola University of
Technology Ogbomoso (LAUTECH)
5. Abubakar Tafawa University of
Technology Bauchi (ATBU)
6. Bells University of Technology Ota
(BUT)
7. Rivers State University of Science and
Technology Portharcourt (RSUST)
8. Enugu State University of Science and
Technology Enugu (ESUT)
9. Kano University of Science and
Technology Wudil (KUST)
10. Cross River State University of
Tecnology Calabar (CRUTECH)
It is expected that these schools will
remove law and accounting from their
portals. Universities of medicine was also
listed as part of those schools meddling
their curriculum with courses they are not
at liberty to offer.
These universities derailed from their
statutory responsibility by running
programmes that contradicts their
mandates. Universities of Agriculture now
offer courses like business administration,
accounting, banking and finance,
management courses and so on.
Some Nigerian universities offer banking
engineering and accounting technology. It
is hoped that the concerned schools will
take immediate steps to stop such
programmes. Candidates should also
avoid choosing courses like that as they
are illegal and not provided in the JAMB
brochure.
