The approval letter, dated July 17, 2025, was signed by Abubakar M. Girei, NUC’s Acting Director of Academic Planning, on behalf of the Executive Secretary of NUC.

The University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Joseph Babatola Ayodele, expressed delight at the approval, describing it as a dream come true and a product of relentless efforts by the academic and administrative staff of the University.

He noted that this milestone reflects the university’s unwavering commitment to expanding educational frontiers and addressing the evolving needs of contemporary society.

The Vice Chancellor also appreciated the Governor of Ekiti State and Visitor to the university, His Excellency, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, the Chancellor of the University, Dr. Tunji Olowolafe, and the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Governing Council, Prof. Akin Oyebode, for their impactful efforts and interest in growing the university globally.

With this development, prospective students can now apply for admission into these newly approved programmes starting from the 2025/2026 academic session. The University’s Management, Staff, and Students received the news with excitement, marking another major stride in the university’s drive towards academic excellence and honour.
