The National Universities Commission (NUC) has given full
accreditation to the Foodservice and Tourism Program in the College of
Food science and Human Ecology (COLFHEC) FUNAAB. This was recently
made known to the University by the Commission.
The accreditation exercise was conducted in July by a team of four NUC
officials led by Prof. Ojotimehin. During the exercise the team
inspected facilities in the Department, the College and the
University. Academic and Administrative records including the
curriculum were also assessed.
According to the HOD of the department, Dr A. Mobolaji Omemu, the full
accreditation of 5 years was given with a proviso to change the name
of theDepartment to HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM. This will help to capture
the whole essence of the program.

re-structured to 5 years instead of four years and students are
expected to go on SIWES at 400L second semester.
The HOD stated that the new program has already commenced with a new
curriculum. The current intakes of 100 Level students in the 2013/2014
academic session, the returning 200Level and 300Level students will
run the new program ofHOSPITALITY AND TOURISM for 5 years. However,
the graduating 400 Level students and students currently in 400 Level
will still run and graduate with the FOODSERVICE AND Tourism
curriculum and structure.
