Professor of Guidance and Counselling at the University of Ilorin
(UNILORIN), Adeyemi Idowu has recommended that the establishment of
Counseling and Human Development Centres (CHDC) should be a prerequisite
for institutional accreditation of universities by the National
Universities Commission (NUC).
Idowu, who is the Provost, Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo State,
said this while delivering the 145th inaugural lecture of UNILORIN,
entitled: “Raising the bar: The Counselor’s Mandate”.
He lamented that contrary to a government directive on the establishment
of CHDC, several universities, both public and private, have not
yielded to the order.
He warned that unless the issue of counselling is adequately addressed,
there is the danger that Nigeria will, for a long time, continue to be a
nation of unrealised hopes and unfulfilled promises.
Idowu said the refusal of full accreditation should equally be extended
to Colleges of Education and Polytechnics that fail to establish the
centres, which are meant to assist students in dealing with possible
challenges that can affect their behaviour and psychological make-up
while in school.
