They were there to test the level of preparedness of the centres for hosting the actual accreditation, scheduled between October and November 2023. In Lagos, Akper briefed the centre director and other concerned staff about the necessary preparations needed as students' academic records, science practical files, project records files, and study materials must all be kept intact.
The team also assessed the councilors' activities, staff records, and the centre's facilities. At the Abeokuta centre, Akper, along with Mrs. Sefinat Omuya, Ag. Director, Learner Support Services, Dr. Sarumi, HOD Linguistics, Foreign and Nigerian Languages, and Dr. Amao, were there for the assessment of the B.A. Yoruba programme. The team was received by the centre director, Oba-Adenuga Olusegun Adeleke, and members of staff of the Abeokuta Study Centre.
Akper made it known that the exercise would be carried out to assess the level of preparedness and readiness of the programme to host the forthcoming NUC accreditation team. The team ensured that all the requirements needed during actual accreditation were attainable and was impressed with the centre's resources, facilities on site, and readiness for the exercise.
I hope to see better results on the recommendations we made to the centre, Akper remarked at the end of their tour.
