UNICAL COMMENCES ENGINEERING & PHARMACY COURSES FROM 2014/2015 SESSION, the University of Calabar will move to the next level by embarking on two major projects. Unical, one of the oldest Universities in Nigeria despite its importance and role in infrastructural development of the nation had not had the above important courses in the famed institution since its inception. The Pro-chancellor and Chairman, UNICAL Governing Council, Chief Emmanuel Nwuanyanwu disclosed this when the council paid a courtesy call on Gov. Liyel Imoke of Cross River State. He intimated that the school will start running courses in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering at the stipulated time. It is on record that the institution has performed well in medical sciences but has an important arm like pharmacy missing which will be fixed right away. The government was also enjoined to tap from the potentials inherent in the university’s capacities in various disciplines to execute consultancy jobs for it as part of its community development focus in areas such as teaching of judiciary staff, workshop for teachers in primary/secondary schools, and Environmental Impact Assessment for projects like quarries and construction in the state. The government responded that the contributions of UNICAL in the state cannot be slighted, since most of the state’s execute council were trained there. He further expressed satisfaction at the institution’s innovative desire to diversify in order to create more impact. Nigerian youths especially from this geopolitical zone have received the information with enthusiasm as this will certainly enlarge the group of young minds with interest in science and technology. Kudos to the institution’s think-tank.
