All the 74 programmes of the University of Delta State, (UNIDEL), Agbor have been accredited by the National Universities Commission ( NUC) in the past three years.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Stella Chiemeke who made this known also revealed that the number of applicants seeking admission into the University has increased from about one thousand to over eleven thousand.

The Professor of Computer science spoke on Thursday, August 8, 2024 while playing host to a delegation of members of Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) led by its Chairman, Mr. Emmanuel Enabeli who were on a courtesy visit to the institution to establish relationship with the authorities of the institution and collaborate in areas of mutual benefit to both parties.

Receiving the DOPF delegation, Prof. Chiemeke, commended the online publishers for adding value to the visibility of the institution through effective reportage.

She said she was impressed with the wide publicity the Forum was giving the activities of the University, which she noted had helped to popularize the institution and making it the preferred choice of admission seekers.

Prof. (Mrs) Chiemeke pledged the readiness of UNIDEL, known for academic excellence and good sporting records, to partner with DOPF in taking the institution to greater heights, expressing optimism that the synergy would work.

While saying that the admission quota of the University was dependent on the limit set by JAMB, the VC revealed that the number of applicants seeking admission to the University had increased from about one thousand to over eleven thousand, while all the 74 programmes of the institution had been accredited by the National Universities Commission ( NUC) in the past three years.

She added that the institution’s medical courses were currently undergoing accreditation, with bright prospects of being fully accredited by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, pointing out that the State Governor, Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, had approved the use of the Trauma Centre, Agbor, for the teaching of medical programmes to boost the quality of products of the College of Medical Sciences.

Speaking on behalf of DOPF,  the Chairman Mr Enebeli congratulated the Vice Chancellor on her appointment and lauded her for the monumental achievements recorded within three years of her administration.

Enebeli solicited for a more robust DOPF partnership with UNIDEL through the publication of stories on the activities of the University community, assuring the VC that the institution would be better for it.

The visit featured the presentation of souvenirs to the DOPF delegation, which was done by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Stella Chiemeke and the Director of Communication of the University of Delta, Mr Edward Ogwude.
