She said: “The Department of Nursing received full accreditation for the first time ever. All programmes submitted in the College of Medicine received full accreditation for the first time. The Department of Pharmacology received full accreditation for its very first accreditation programme ever. All postgraduate programmes in the Postgraduate School presented received full accreditation.

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, thanked the Lagos State Government led by Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu for the unflinching support it gave the university before and during the exercise.
She hailed members of the university management and other officials of the university for their hardwork and commitment, which made the exercise successful.
