Meanwhile, Southwestern University Nigeria will extend all privileges accorded to other Nigerian universities concerning the running of the postgraduate degree programmes at the citadel of higher learning.
It would be recalled that the University was established in 2012 to harp her focus on high-level empowerment and attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while bridging the lacuna that separates the potential of Nigerian youths from their goals and aspirations.
As such, the approval of these postgraduate degree programmes portends the continuing pursuit of knowledge towards climbing to the crescendo of excellence and personal growth.
