The Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja, Professor Abdul Rasheed Na’Allah, has said that one of the requirement for graduation from the institution is a registered company with Corporate Affairs Commission.
According to Daily Trust report, the Vice Chancellor stated this during a media parley where he highlighted his achievements at the helm of affairs for the past four years.
The VC noted that in partnership with the Abuja Chamber of Commerce, the students had been taught how to register their own businesses and companies to avoid relying on the government or private owned organizations for employment.
The VC said, “The industry is always on our campus to teach our students to contribute to our curriculum, they’re constantly working with us and every time we’re always seeing something new.
“One of the new things this time around is that more than 1000 students have registered their companies with CAC in this university, students having companies and some of them are graduating, some in 300 level with opportunities to even practise the companies they have registered.”
The VC also mentioned that they are not giving the students certificates to go job hunting but charging them to create their own wealth.
“What we’re saying to our students is that we’re not giving you certificate only to go and look for employment, we’re charging you to employ yourself and create wealth, charging them to change their mindset, many of them have registered their companies, go to CAC and see the record.
“Know that no student will graduate from the University of Abuja without having a company registered with CAC, it’s now a law in this university; you cannot graduate from this university if you don’t have a company that you’ve registered. You must even practise this company because you must have registered the company a year or two before you graduate,” he added.
