…AFFECTED STUDENTS PROTEST UNDERWAY

As the University of Uyo prepares for its 21st and 22nd convocations, crisis looms in the institution as it loses accreditation of core courses. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a member of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) reveals that the accreditation team that visited the institution recently for accreditation of its programmes was disappointed at the state of infrastructures, equipment and technical capability of the university to sustain pharmacy and some Arts Courses, which informed total withdrawal of accreditation of some courses, including pharmacy.

Continuing, our source maintained that the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Uyo lacks basic laboratory apparatuses, teaching equipment and technical manpower to continue to train pharmacists for our Health Care System.

He further stressed that during the second but last Accreditation Team visit to the institution, the University only managed to secure interim accreditation for few courses. more @ http://www.thekillerpunch.com/crisis-looms-in-uniuyo-loses-accreditation-in-pharmacy-other-courses/
