The National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved the establishment of eight (8) science and technology education programmes at Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH), Osara, Kogi State. The University Registrar, Olufunke Hudson, who conveyed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, said the programmes are to run in a dedicated academic unit, the Faculty of Science and Technology Education. She listed the new undergraduate programmes to include biology education, chemistry education, mathematics education, physics education, computer science education, geography education, library and information science, and technology education, among other programmes offered by the university. “It is therefore a compelling necessity that the quality of secondary and technical education be strengthened to enable them to perform the expected role in the education sector,” Hudson stated. “Candidates who are interested in any of the university’s programmes can change their first-choice institution to Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara,” Hudson stated.
