​The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has delisted management courses of some universities in its current admission brochure.

They are Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Modibbo Adamawa Federal University of Technology, Yola (MAUTY), Federal University of Technology, Minna (FUTMINNA), Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU) and University of Agriculture, Makurdi (UAW).

This is sequel to an order by the federal government that the universities of Agriculture and Technology should stop running management courses and focus on their core mandates.

The directive was issued by the Ministry of Education after it was approved recently by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, explained that the decision to delist the programmes was not taken by the Board as being suggested by the some staff and students of the universities affected.

“It was a ministerial decision based on FEC meeting and as an agency of government, we are to implement government decisions.,” he told Sun.

“So, in the concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the concerned institutions did not field candidates.”

Meanwhile, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the House Committee on Tertiary Education have queried the directive.

Reacting, ASUU FUNAAB chairman, Dr. Adebayo Oni, said the national body of the union was aware of the government decision but noted that it was done without proper consultation with affected universities and stakeholders.

He said: “FUNAAB branch took the issue to our zonal branch meeting which reported same at the national level. The delisting of the programme was done in haste and it is illegal by JAMB.

“The courses were accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and relevant bodies. University vice-chancellors were not carried along.”

Why will technological and Agricultural universities offer those courses in the first place?

You are Rude oo. Can't u greet me first? At least a little respect for the first to comment.. Oya do normal

They will offer it in the first place bcoz you were rude in the first place. That's my humble submission

that's a welcome development.

mercytripletz:

Exactly!

Its illegal for FG to do so, if the programs are contrary to the act establishing the universities then NUC is in a better position to stop these courses not an uninformed mallam who is the minister of education or the ministry of education.

Is this the best for now?

We have very senseless leaders. That a school is a technological schools doesn't mean that they can't venture outside their area of core competence or focus.

At home, you can't sleep without switching off your small radio to silence the atmosphere but you can sleep in the church with 8 speakers blasting in your ear... It is called "Demonic software".
Repeat after me.....
Demonic software!!!

Another round of job losses.

The management courses offered in FUTO are Project Management Technology, Transport Management Technology, Maritime Management Technology, Information Management Technology, and Financial Management Technology.

I don't think these courses are outside the institution's core mandate.

So I did a quick search and found that Federal University of Technology Act 1986 s 1(3)(b) clearly states that one of the objects of the university shall be:

(b)to develop and offer academic and professional programmes leading to the award of diplomas, first degrees, post-graduate research and higher degrees which emphasise planning, adaptive, technical, maintenance, developmental and productive skills inthe engineering, scientific, agricultural, medical, and allied professional disciplines with the aim of producing socially mature men and women with capability not only to understand, use and adapt existing technology, but also to improve on it and develop new ones;

Management technology is an allied professional discipline and shouldn't be scrapped. My guess is that our policy makers dont read the law.

very nice question. When I was in futo, asked the same thing but they were giving me stupid reasons

Someone will say something. ......!!!!!! ASUU is stupid ooo! Why will they go against it

assholes?

Doing the right thing at the wrong time. What's the faith of Jambite that has already chosen the affected Uni? This are what they've to have consider before taking such decision.

What will happen to the students that are studying the courses some are already in 300L

So MIT should offer accounting? Why have u chosen to reason this way?
