The new Vice-Chancellor, Anchor University, Prof. Samuel Oye Bandele has said he plans to upgrade the institute to an international standard.
Speaking at the sixth matriculation of the university, Prof. Samuel Oye-Bandele said part of his vision for engagement effort was to collaborate other organisations.
The investiture of Oye Bandele, which was performed by the Chairman of Governing Council, Prof. S.T Odi-Owei also took place during the matriculation of 200 students.
“We are starting with the Deeper Life Bible Church Institution and companies for mutual cooperation, connection and collaboration. AUL and Deeper Life High School already started discussions along this line. We are, by the Grace of God, to sign our Memorandum of Understanding shortly. Effort is on to enter into the same collaboration with others, among which are Women Mirror, Life Tapes and DLBC Waters. Public awareness about AUL is being worked upon for better visibility.
He added that to improve enrolment, AUL was pursuing the establishment of three new professional programmes.
“These are Law, Nursing and Architecture, four other new programmes are also awaiting NUC resource verification visits. We are merging faculties and departments to meet the realities of our present enrolment and to accommodate the new programmes being introduced.
“This is an assignment that came with a clear mandate to move the University from the present stature to a new horizon of progress and prosperity. The mandate was to build on the Triple- E – vision and mission: Enrolment, Enrichment and Engagement. ”
