The VC said the university has introduced additional undergraduate and postgraduate courses due to the availability of structures that were capable of accommodating higher number of students population.
He stressed that the university has zero tolerance for social vices such as cultism, examination malpractice and corrupt tendencies of whatever form.
The TETFund is a body set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria ostensibly to arrest the rot and deterioration in the educational infrastructure occasioned by a long period of neglect and very poor resource allocation.
In 2011, the Education Trust Fund, ETF was renamed TETFund by the ETF Act. (NAN)
