Speaking at a media briefing at the institution, Anchor University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Samuel Oye Bandele, said more opportunities are now available for students in the school to study in a competitive learning environment.
According to him, the university has developed standard curriculum for its law programmes based on the new NUC CCMAS benchmarks. He added that Lagos being a cosmopolitan city, the institution will emphasise contents that will match the realities of her complexities for quality legal education.
Bandele said that there will be specialised pedagogy involving Google classrooms and dedicated online teaching – learning modes and deployment of hybrid and flexible learning systems for quality learning and training.
He stated that students now have the opportunity to get admission into Computer Engineering and Medicine through its collaboration scheme with NUC recognised universities from Poland and Commonwealth of Dominican respectively.
The VC also revealed that the university have started to conduct drug and pregnancy tests for freshers and returning students.
He said: “I am happy to inform you that the initiative took off unhindered. At resumption this session, no students was allowed entrance into Anchor University without being subjected to drug test and clearance.
“Council also approve that there will be continuous drug tests after entrance, so there is no hiding place for bad boys in Anchor University.”
He added that at a recent meeting of its Parents Consultative Forum, the university was mandated to continue her zero tolerance to hard drugs, immorality and gangsters.
Bandele said parents who felt threatened by these measures have been advised to seek transfer for their children to other institutions before they are expelled.
He said as a private faith-based institution, the university will not compromise on the tenet of their faith.
“We have to equip our undergraduates and postgraduates students with holistic and quality education that will lead to unique products with uncommon credentials of character, competence and courage,” Bandele said.
