Rector Abdul Jimoh Mohammed stated that the unbundling will help meet the growing demands of the global information, communication, and technology industries while producing diplomats with specialized knowledge and skills in areas of national needs.

Abdul disclosed that with the development, Mass Communication and Computer Science as a programme ceased to exist at the Higher National Diploma ((HND) level.
