University of Abuja has been cleared for admission into Engineering Course

The engineering course of the University of Abuja has been cleared for admission from 2013/2014 academic session.

This has been confirmed by the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor James Sunday Adelabu, who has spoken at the 22nd Matriculation of the university, in front of 2,500 matriculating students of the university.

He said the university has overcome the accreditation challenges it had in the past as all the university's programmes now enjoy full accreditation.

"I find it necessary to explain to the fresh students some of the issues they may have heard surrounding the new programmes and to assure them that there is no cause for alarm.

"Agreed that there were problems with the programmes but the circumstances of their coming into existence were beyond the control of the present administration," he said.

Prof. Sunday Adelabu also noted the university management was doing its best to better the lives of its students by building more classrooms, students' hostels, reducing inter-campus transport fare among others.

He called on the students to make the best use of the opportunity presented by the university to realise their lifelong dreams of being useful citizens of the country.

The VC also urged them to avoid social vices like exam malpractice, cultism, religious intolerance, vandalism, immorality and indecencies.
