Officials from the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON) visited Covenant University, Ota on Thursday, March 5, 2015 to inspect the Building Technology Department of the University. The team, which came from their headquarters in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, was led by the Chairman of the Council, Bldr. (Prof.) Kabir Bala.
While making his remarks, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Charles Ayo, expressed his excitement at the presence of the team.
According to him, “In 2012, we were given the mandate to get the University listed as one of the best ten universities in the world by the year, 2022. If not for the business-like approach we give to the management of this university, there is little we could have actually done to have reached where we are today.
“As an institution, we see your visit as a way of benchmarking what we are doing. We know the whole essence of peer review mechanism is for you to come in from outside and see a number of things glossed over and advise us appropriately on the right steps to take in other to improve on what we are doing currently.”
In his remarks, the Registrar, Dr. Olumuyiwa Oludayo, appreciated the team for coming to Covenant University and said, “We have been expecting you. We are glad that you have come and we assure you that you will see all that you expect to see and even more. We trust God that the outcome of your evaluation will be a validation of our quest to become one of the top ten universities in the world by 2022. Our vision speaks in all that we do, in all our programmes, curriculums and facilities. ”
The Chairman of the Council, Bldr. (Prof.) Kabir Bala, while responding, stated that they were in CU to evaluate the Building Technology programme of the University.
