Dear Content Contributor,
The establishment of the Centre for Innovation and Strategy in Learning and Teaching (CISLT) by the University Management, led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olusola Bandele Oyewole, has placed FUNAAB among the world-class Universities such as Harvard, MIT, Stanford, University of Cape Town , South Africa, among others, which ensure that sound and quality learning and teaching are rooted in their academic life.
