During the 16th convocation ceremony of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, the acting Vice Chancellor, Prof Razaq Kalilu, announced the introduction of six new degree programs. Addressing the congregation, Prof Kalilu highlighted the university’s commitment to evolving academic offerings in alignment with its mandate and the vision of Governor Seyi Makinde, the institution’s Visitor.
The new degree programs introduced under the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences include Psychology, Mass Communication, Linguistics, Yoruba, Theatre Arts, and Political Science.

He emphasized the importance of representing LAUTECH’s values of service and progress in their endeavors beyond graduation.
