‘A year ago, the university established the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences with four academic programmes. This year, we have introduced six additional new degree programmes in the Faculty in question namely; Psychology, Mass Communication, Linguistics, Yoruba, Theatre Arts, and Political Science. A Faculty of Law has also been established to run a degree programme in law.
All the seven newly introduced programmes have recently gone through Resource Verification, in March this year towards the National Universities Commission’s approval. We hope to admit students for these programmes in this current academic session as soon as we receive the clearance from the NUC’ he said.
Also delivering his speech, the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman, Governing Council of the institution, Prof Ayodeji Omole urged the graduands to be good ambassadors of the university.
‘As you receive your degrees, remember that you are not just graduates of LAUTECH, but ambassadors of knowledge, integrity, excellence, service and progress, all that your university stands for. Carry the torch of learning with pride and let your actions speak volumes about the calibre of education you have received’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
