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.
