The Director of the Ilorin Business School (IBS) at the University of Ilorin, Prof. Ismail Bolarinwa Kadiri, has unveiled significant transformations aimed at improving service delivery at the institution. In an exclusive interview with the UNILORIN Bulletin, Prof. Kadiri detailed the ongoing changes and future plans for the Business School.
Key Highlights:
- Upcoming NUC Accreditation: The National Universities Commission (NUC) is scheduled to visit the IBS to accredit its Master’s degree programs in Business Administration (MBA), Public Administration (MPA), and Industrial and Labour Relations (MILR). This accreditation is a pivotal step in enhancing the School's academic offerings and maintaining high standards.
- Policy Changes: The University Senate has approved new policies allowing the IBS to directly collate and release results to students, aiming to streamline administrative processes and reduce bureaucratic delays.
- Relocation Benefits: The recent move of the IBS to a mini-campus has improved accessibility and competitiveness by bringing the School closer to town and its stakeholders.
- Blended Learning Approach: The implementation of a robust Learning Management System (LMS) has revolutionized the School’s educational delivery, with 70% of lectures conducted online, 20% in physical classes, and 10% dedicated to examinations.
- Strengthening Industry Relations: The IBS plans to integrate more industry professionals into its Board of Directors to enhance educational quality and provide students with real-world insights.
Prof. Kadiri commended the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole SAN, and the University management for their support and strategic vision in advancing the IBS. He emphasized that these developments are setting the stage for a new era of growth and excellence at the Business School.
“With the forthcoming NUC accreditation and innovative educational practices, the Ilorin Business School is poised for a new era of growth and excellence,” Prof. Kadiri stated.
