The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, ICAN, has made significant progress in securing the National Universities Commission’s (NUC) licence for the establishment of the ICAN University.
The university will be based in the Federal Capital City, Abuja.
This was revealed by the President of ICAN, Mrs. Onome Adewuyi, at the foundation stone-laying ceremony at the University’s proposed site in Kwali, Abuja.
According to the ICAN president, the university will start with postgraduate courses in the Social and Management Sciences such as Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, Finance etc.
The foundation laying ceremony was witnessed by prominent men and women in Abuja, including NUC officials, traditional rulers and religious leaders.
Speaking at the 67th induction ceremony of new members in Lagos later, Mrs. Onome Adewuyi admonished newly inducted members to avail themselves of the facilities the school will provide to advance their professional qualifications.
“We expect that the inductees of today would continue to aspire for both professional and academic relevance in the market and I encourage you to take advantage of this window of opportunity by ICAN to add to your academic qualifications by enrolling for postgraduate courses at the proposed university in any field of interest to you.
“We also request that you would be our advocate in projecting the university, when operational, to your friends, colleagues and associates.”
