The Federal Road Safety Corps FRSC’s academy in Udi, Anambra is now affiliated with the Federal University of Technology, Owerri FUTO.
This is as the FRSC on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FUTO for degree awarding programmes.
According to the agreement signed by Corp Martial of FRSC, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi and Vice Chancellor (VC) of FUTO, Prof. Francis Eze, FUTO will supervise and award Diploma, Degree and Post Graduate certificates to successful graduates of the academy on Transport Management Technology (TMTech).
Earlier, Oyeyemi told the FUTO management that the National Universities Commission (NUC) had approved Diploma and Degree awarding programmes for the academy.
He said the NUC accreditation team, which visited the academy in May 2017, suggested to FRSC to seek affiliation with FUTO.
The FRSC boss said that both parties had since agreed and activated the processes to perfect the affiliation programme.
He further said that a 12-point programme of action for the affiliation had been transmitted to FRSC.
Oyeyemi, who commended the VC for his cooperation, said both parties had jointly developed the curriculum for the programme.
