Oyo varsity accreditation: Parents seek help from FG

Parents of students at Atiba University in Oyo State have appealed to the Federal Government to address the accreditation crisis affecting the university's Law program. Represented by lawyer Victor Opatola, they urge federal authorities, including the National Universities Commission and the Council of Legal Education, to resolve the issue before the next academic session. The problem stems from the Council of Legal Education placing the university on a 10-year moratorium, preventing new admissions and creating uncertainty for current students. Some students have studied Law for up to five years without accreditation, risking their ability to pursue legal careers. Parents argue that their financial investments and their children's academic progress are at risk due to bureaucratic delays and lack of action from regulatory bodies.
