FUNAAB Management Programmes Gets NUC Nod

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved the return of Management Degree Programmes at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB). The decision followed a successful Resource Assessment Visit to the proposed courses.

In a statement released by Mr Olasunkanmi Olajide, Acting Head of the Directorate of Public Relations, the approved courses include B.Sc. Accounting, B.Sc. Banking and Finance, B.Sc. Business Administration, and B.Sc. Economics, along with a new postgraduate course, M.Sc. Agroecology.

 

This approval marks a key step in the university’s academic development. The programmes are returning after being withdrawn in the 2017/2018 academic session, following a Federal Government directive that stopped management-related studies in agricultural universities.

In 2021, FUNAAB’s Senate renamed the College of Management Sciences (COLMAS) to the College of Entrepreneurial and Development Studies (COLENDS) to reflect its broader mission of promoting entrepreneurship and development-focused education.

With the NUC’s approval, the university is set to resume admissions into these management courses under COLENDS for the 2025/2026 Academic Session.

This move strengthens FUNAAB’s commitment to offering students a wider range of academic choices while supporting Nigeria’s drive for skill-based and development-oriented education.
