Accounting<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B.Sc. Banking and Finance<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B.Sc. Business Administration<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B.Sc. Economics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the NUC also granted approval for a new postgraduate programme \u2014 <strong>M.Sc. Agroecology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Background: Why the Courses Were Suspended<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Management courses were withdrawn during the <strong>2017\/2018 academic session<\/strong> after a <strong>Federal Government directive<\/strong> halted management-related programmes in all agricultural universities across Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To adapt to this policy shift, the university\u2019s Senate in <strong>2021<\/strong> restructured its academic framework by renaming the <strong>College of Management Sciences (COLMAS)<\/strong> to the <strong>College of Entrepreneurial and Development Studies (COLENDS)<\/strong>. This change reflected FUNAAB\u2019s renewed focus on entrepreneurship and development-oriented education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FUNAAB Set to Resume Admissions in 2025\/2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the latest approval, FUNAAB is now set to <strong>resume admissions<\/strong> into these management programmes under <strong>COLENDS<\/strong> starting from the <strong>2025\/2026 Academic Session<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This marks a significant milestone in the university\u2019s academic expansion, as it reopens opportunities for students to pursue management and economic studies within an agricultural-based institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strengthening Nigeria\u2019s Skill-Based Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The reinstatement of these programmes aligns with Nigeria\u2019s broader vision of promoting <strong>skill-based, entrepreneurial, and development-focused education<\/strong>. It also reinforces FUNAAB\u2019s mission to produce graduates equipped to drive innovation, business growth, and national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThis approval reflects the university\u2019s commitment to offering diverse academic opportunities that support the nation\u2019s economic transformation,\u201d Mr. Olajide stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Take<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new approval from the NUC, FUNAAB is once again positioned as a hub for <strong>entrepreneurial learning and management innovation<\/strong>, bridging the gap between agriculture and business in Nigeria\u2019s evolving educational landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also like to read: <a href=\"https:\/\/examkits.com\/blog\/funaab-opens-inter-university-transfer-window-for-2025-2026-session\/\">FUNAAB Opens Inter-University Transfer Window for 2025\/2026 Session<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Universities Commission (NUC) has officially approved the reintroduction of Management Degree Programmes at&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":3275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[600],"tags":[20289,20288,1516,2867,127,1727,7150],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
