Abdulrasheed Na’allah, vice-chancellor of the institution, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
Na’allah said the National Universities Commission (NUC) has approved the commencement of the course at KWASU, Malete.
He revealed that the institution had formally submitted an invitation to NUC for accreditation, and assured the public that the university is fully ready for the exercise.
