Kwara State Government has facilitated the absorption of 105 law students of the State University (KWASU) into the Nigerian Law School after previously being denied admission by the Council on Legal Education in Nigeria due to non-accreditation issues, which have since been amicably resolved.
The Commissioner for Tertiary Education Mary Ronke Arinde, who said this yesterday at the quarterly inter-ministerial press briefing in Ilorin, reiterated the state government’s commitment to effective service delivery in tertiary institutions.
She said Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s administration had invested hugely in tertiary institutions “part of which is the ongoing construction of the Kwara State University’s satellite campuses in Osi and Ilesha-Baruba, which have both attained 90 per cent completion”.
Arinde also said approval has been secured from the National Universities Commission (NUC) for the establishment of the Kwara State University of Education.
