The Federal University of Science and Technology (FUST), Kabo, Kano State, has secured accreditation for 20 academic programmes, including medical courses, ahead of the commencement of its maiden academic session.\n<\/p>\n

The development marks a major step in the take-off of the institution, which was upgraded from the Federal Polytechnic, Kabo, to a full-fledged university in 2025.\n<\/p>\n

Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, who disclosed his satisfaction with the development, urged the university\u2019s Governing Council and management to sustain the progress by maintaining high academic standards.\n<\/p>\n

Barau spoke on Thursday when the Pro-Chancellor and Chairperson of the Governing Council, Grace Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, led members of the council on a courtesy visit to him at the National Assembly in Abuja.\n<\/p>\n

Laoye-Tomori, a former deputy governor of Osun State, said securing accreditation for 20 programmes, including medical courses, had placed the institution on a strong footing to commence academic activities.<\/p>\n

She attributed the development to the support of Barau, who sponsored the legislation that led to the establishment of the institution as a federal polytechnic in 2016 and its subsequent conversion into a university in 2025.\n<\/p>\n

According to her, the senator\u2019s intervention was driven by a vision to expand access to higher education for young Nigerians, particularly those in northern Nigeria.\n<\/p>\n

She commended him for sustaining his commitment to the institution\u2019s development, saying the accreditation achievement reflected the progress made towards establishing a university capable of delivering quality science and technology education.\n<\/p>\n

Responding, Barau congratulated the governing council, management and staff on securing accreditation for the programmes within a relatively short period.\n<\/p>\n

He called on the university authorities to consolidate the achievement through quality teaching, effective administration and adherence to academic standards.<\/p>\n

The deputy Senate president also acknowledged President Bola Tinubu for signing the legislation that facilitated the conversion of the polytechnic into a university.\n<\/p>\n

He said investment in education and skills development remained essential to harnessing Nigeria\u2019s human resources, particularly its youthful population.\n<\/p>\n

Barau reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the institution, stressing that expanding access to quality education would help prepare young people for national development.\n<\/p>\n

The accreditation of the 20 programmes represents an important milestone for the university as it prepares to admit students for its first academic session.\n<\/p>\n
