THE suspended licence of the Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU) Ikeji Arakeji in Osun State has been restored by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

Consequently, the authorities of the university have converted the over 3,600 students affected by the directive of the NUC in its part time programmes to full time. The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof Sola Fajana, however, told newsmen that the licence suspension came to them as a rude shock.

According to him, an agreement had earlier been reached with the NUC that students in the part-time programmes should be allowed to graduate before they are scrapped.
