At the exit meeting held by each of the nine teams with the University Management at the end of the assessment in the evening of Monday, December 14, 2020, the University was generally commended by each of the teams for putting in place excellent arrangements for the commencement of the programmes. The resource verification went on seamlessly in a very friendly atmosphere. The team on Survey and Geo-informatics was particularly pleased with the step taken by the University in collaborating with the Federal School of Surveying (located a stone-throw from the University) by way of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Some of the teams, however, drew the attention of the University Management to some areas that need to be improved upon, which the University Management promised to attend to promptly.
In all, Management was satisfied with the reports of the teams and expressed high hopes of securing the approval of the National Universities Commission (NUC) to mount the nine programmes.
