fresh students into a four year and Direct Entry students into a three

session.
In a letter dated February 10, 2015, and signed

NUC granting full accreditation status to the Department of computer
Science of the University is a clear indication of the high quality of
the academic curriculum and staffing in the department of computer
science, even as the University strives to uphold such high standards
across all programmes in the university.

pursuance of the strategic vision of turning Obong University into one
of the most sought-after tertiary institution in Nigeria, the Management

non-academic staff and implementing best practices in all departments.
