NUC Approves IBB Varsity Law, Pharmacy Programmes

Management of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), Lapai in Niger State has received the nod of the National Universities Commission (NUC) for the take-off of Faculties of Law and Pharmaceutical Sciences in the next academic session.

The NUC resource inspection teams lauded the school’s management for the facilities already in place for the faculties’ take-off.

The teams which had NUC’s director of academic planning, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and a professor of law as well as professors of pharmaceutical sciences from high-ranking universities in the country were received by the vice chancellor, Professor Abu Kasim Adamu.

Adamu appreciated the acting executive secretary of the commission, Mr Chris Jibreel Mayaki, for the powerful delegation to inspect and assess the two programmes and stressed that the university was conscious of NUC’s standards and was ready to maintain them.

On his part, the director of NUC’s academic planning, Mallam Abubakar Girie, said the university’s faculty of law complex under construction, when completed, would be a model and the largest in any Nigerian Ivory Tower.

He said the complex was well structured and well organised, with all the required facilities and adequate offices for both teaching and non-teaching staff with moot court, law clinic, judge’s chamber, law library and e-law library in the building.

He said the complex has a modern auditorium, six classes with over 250-seat capacity.
