The Minister of education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed disclosed the plans of the Federal Government to relocate the Engineering students of University of Abuja to other universities to journalists today in Abuja after a delegation of the National Association of Nigerian Students led by its President appealed to the federal government to set up an emergency fund to purchase all the necessary equipment needed to facilitate accreditation for the engineering faculty.
The Faculty of Engineering is among the Universities programmes that are yet to get accreditation from the Nigeria Universities Commission and its students have been involved in several protests in recent times, aimed at rectifying their situation.
Professor Ahmed said that the universities where the students are to be re-absorbed have already been identified. She said this would pave way for the Engineering programme to gain fresh accreditation.
