The Lagos State University on Friday said the National Universities Commission had pledged to collaborate with the institution to resolve pitfalls that resulted to non-accreditation of some courses.
This was contained in a statement by the Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.
The statement said the Executive-Secretary of the NUC, Prof. Julius Okojie, gave the assurance when Fagbohun paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.
The statement said Okojie promised to support the university, adding that he would also visit the institution soon.
According to the statement, the Tertiary Trust Fund and the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board had also promised to support LASU.
“We have assurances of funding from TETFUND for our colleagues who are working on research proposals or manuscripts, please keep being resourceful,” the bulletin quoted the VC as saying.
It said the VC also warned unscrupulous lecturers, who were always in the habit of printing or publishing sub-standard materials and compelling students to buy.
He was quoted as saying: “No longer must we compel our students to buy sub-standard texts, if a book is good, it will sell itself.”
