NUC Lauds AAUA’s Quality Assurance Efforts
Two teams from the Quality Assurance Department of the National Universities Commission, on
Tuesday last week, commended Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State,
Nigeria, for being quality assurance compliant.
The NUC teams, according to the head of team A, Prof. Muhammad Daniyan, were at AAUA to
carry out a peer-review exercise of B.Sc. Applied Geophysics, B.Sc. Industrial Mathematics,
M.B.A Business Administration; M.Sc. and Ph.D. Banking and Finance programmes of the
University with a view of ensuring quality assurance.
Prof. Daniyan said, “Having gone through your necessary documents and moved around the
facilities on ground, we observed that the philosophy and objectives of the programmes under
review were very clear such that the lecturers are positioned to produce the type of graduates
that will not only be job seekers but also employers of labours.
“We are happy with what we saw in your curriculum. We are also happy with your admission
requirements. All the students have the minimum O’ Level and JAMB requirements.
“We are satisfied about the effectiveness of your academic regulations. On your course
evaluation, we observed that the lecturers were diligent, the examination questions covered
the curriculum. The students were also happy with the delivery.
“We observed the presence of competent technical staff in your laboratories and we are happy.
The facilities we saw in the laboratories were functional and we hope that you will keep that
up.
“The lecture theatres and classrooms are adequate, considering the number of students in the
programmes. The necessary equipment are in the laboratories, though there is need for
improvement, especially, in the Geo-Physics Department whose equipment are capital
intensive. The Lecturers’ offices were neat and well equipped with air conditioners and
refrigerators.
“We saw the books in the library, including the E-Library. We observed that you have quality
books and journals. Particularly, we are happy with your E-Library because some Institutions
will tell you they have E-Library but when you ask for evidence, they have nothing to show. But
in your own case, we were able to access your E-Library.
“We also observed that you have many new infrastructures in place. This campus is beautiful,
neat and safe. And we observed that you have functional and neat modern toilet facilities.
The head of team B, Prof. Patrick Emekekwe, corroborated his counterpart to commend the
University and urged the Management not to rest on its oars in ensuring quality service
delivery.
The teams appreciated the University for its warm reception and for cooperating with them in
carrying out their assignment.
Responding, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Femi Mimiko, thanked NUC teams for their services to
not just the University system, but also the nation.
Prof. Mimiko noted that the Quality Assurance programme of the NUC was directed at
enhancing the capacity of the nation’s Universities to produce graduates required for the
continual growth and development of the nation.
The VC said, “For us, the Quality Assurance programme is commendable and worthy of support
and that is why we will not leave any stone unturned in supporting the NUC vis-à-vis the
programme.”
Prof. Mimiko, who noted that all the University’s programmes have NUC accreditation, said,
“What we have been doing here in the past few years, is to try to live a culture of accreditation
for quality assurance. We don’t really wait until the NUC knocks on our door to inspect our
programmes before we do the needful. As a matter of fact, we have put in place now, a
programme we called Mock Accreditation – Once in a while we send out teams to the different
programmes in different faculties -.”
The VC said the University would continue to do everything possible to deepen the quality of its
programmes, noting, “As I speak to you now, we have more than 50 of our younger colleagues
scattered all over the world, struggling to get Ph.D. and we will continue to deepen that
process.”
He added, “All of us are conscious of the enormous responsibility that we carry as
administrators of higher education in this place and I can assure you that we will continue to do
everything possible to ensure that that very sacrosanct responsibility we carry, we won’t shark
it at all. We will continue to bend over backward to ensure that we do our own bit.”
