Achievements

Since the inception of Chrisland University, the Academic Planning had metamorphosed into a Directorate saddled with the responsibility of ensuring total Academic Quality control activities and aligning with the standards stipulated by the Nigerian Universities commissions (NUC). To date the Directorate had witnessed and participated in the accreditation exercise of all academic programmes in the University, some of which are NUC, MLSCN, MRTBN, as well and other professional bodies. It is worthy to say that all programs since inception were fully accredited.

Professional Accreditation

Following the successful full accreditation and commendations received by the University from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN), it is interesting to let you know that the Council also increased the quota of student admission by 60% that is from 50 to 150 students per session, thereby giving the department a full faculty status.

It is significant to know that the National Universities Commission (NUC) conducted its verification of the Law programme at the University, the outcome of which the University secured NUC approval to commence the programme. This further led to the visit by the Council of Legal Education which is the professional body regulating the programme and the outcome was a successful one.

Also, in 2022/2023 academic session, the Directorate in conjunction with all Heads of Department in the University was able to contribute 30% of the newly introduced Core Curriculum Minimum Academic Standard (CCMAS) thereby securing 97%.

In addition, the Registrar, Medical Rehabilitation Therapist Board of Nigeria (MRTB) visited the University for the Council Accreditation of Physiotherapy programme. The University emerged as the first University in Nigeria to have secured full accreditations from both the National Universities Commission (NUC) and Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board of Nigeria (MRTBN) to run and award Doctor of Physiotherapy Degree. With these accreditations from the two regulatory bodies, graduates of Chrisland University will now be awarded degree of Doctor of Physiotherapy on completion of their programme of study.

The vision of the Chrisland University is ‘to become a world –class university renowned for intellectual freedom, ethical standards, research, community service and the outstanding training of a new generation of leaders’.

Our Mission

The Mission of the Chrisland University is ‘to create a learning environment that nurtures a sound moral and intellectual culture that attracts an excellent blend of faculty from across the world, and deploys resources to educate the total person’.

The university hopes to attract talented youths, to teach and inspire them to advance the realm of knowledge by cultivating their faculty of academic enquiry, creative scholarships, research discovery and the application of new knowledge to the transformation of the individual and society.

The major foundation of what has become Chrisland University (the University arm of Chrisland Schools Limited) today was laid over forty years ago by seasoned Educationist and Administrator, High Chief Dr. (Mrs.) Winifred Awosika, OON, has a vision of imparting the educational sector positively, the institution opened its doors with only seven students. High Chief Dr. (Mrs.) Winifred Awosika, OON had always nurtured the dreams of establishing new educational levels every ten years with a vision to be at the forefront of private education in Nigeria, and have a leadership position from kindergarten to tertiary level. Her dreams were brought to life when she established the Nursery section which she started by educating not more than seven pupils in her kitchen. She however got more pupils and there was a need for expansion. In another ten years, she established the Secondary School section, and the Pre-degree College after ten years, and these sections have grown into a large citadel of learning. Chrisland Schools which was founded in 1977 remains the largest privately owned educational institution in Nigeria.

There was a slight delay as the University arm could not be established after the ten years just as the founder planned. But the dream came alive on September 17, 2015, and the University was granted a full operational license to operate as a private university in Nigeria, in the year 2019 by the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s National Universities Commission.

The University commenced with two Colleges- the College of Arts, Management, and Social Sciences, and the College of Natural and Applied Sciences. The College of Basic Medical Sciences became the third college in 2019, while the College of Law received NUC Accreditation in 2022. The former Vice-Chancellor of the Institution, Prof. Mrs. Chinedum Peace Babalola, FAS, championed full accreditation of nine (9) programmes (Business Administration, Economics, Accounting, Criminology & Security Studies, Psychology, Computer Science, Political Science, Microbiology and Biochemistry) presented for the 2018 NUC Accreditation.

The University commenced academic activities on 17th September 2015 with seven pioneer students admitted into two colleges viz:

• College of Arts, Management and Social Sciences
• College of Natural and Applied Sciences

The maiden convocation ceremony took place on 1st November 2019, and the former Governor of Anambra State and business magnate, Peter Obi was the Guest Speaker, while the eminent Professor, Prof. Peter Okebukola was the Convocation Lecturer. The occasion was chaired by Emeritus Professor Nimi Briggs. Miss. Lauretta Onemu from the Psychology Department emerged as the overall best graduating student with a CGPA of 5.00.

The Guest Speaker who gave the convocation lecture, Her Excellency, Prof. Mrs. Sarah Anyang Agbor, the Commissioner for Human Resources, Science and Technology, African Union Commission, spoke extensively on a reflective perspective of leadership, sustainable growth, and national building in Africa. The former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was the Chairman of the ceremony. The University graduated 28 students during the second Convocation Ceremony as Miss. Folashade Kikelomo Mary from Biochemistry emerged the overall best graduating student with a CGPA of 4.80.

During the third Convocation Ceremony in 2021 which marked the 6th Anniversary of the Institution, Miss Kave Martha Iveren from the Department of Criminology and Security Studies emerged the Overall Best Graduating Student. The Convocation Ceremony featured recognition and celebration of the life of a Nigerian Amazon, Late Pastor Mrs. AIG-Imokhuede who was a member of the Board of Trustees of the University.
