Specifically, the Decree establishing the University provides for the underlisted objects:
To encourage the advancement of all branches of learning and to hold out to all p

ersons without distinction of race, creed, sex or political conviction, an opportunity of acquiring higher and liberal education;

To provide courses of instruction and other facilities for the pursuit of learning in all its branches and to make these facilities available on proper terms to such persons as are equipped to benefit from them;

Summary : These strategies for success will emphasize our desire for high quality education, wise investment of University resources, result oriented and problem solving curricula. These are mediated through the reorientation of staff attitude to effect pragmatic teaching and development, output mix, research, good governance and management. Our strategies for their success will be clearly tied to our ability to plan expertly and manage the activities of the University based on extensive internal consultations and consensus building with staff and students through management audit and brain storming sessions. Already many of these are in place and are viable. For instance Academic Planning and Physical Planning Units, Central University Monitoring Committee (which monitors the commitment of staff and students to the objectives of the Decree as well as the tenets of the University’s motto) are functioning effectively. Furthermore, the adoption of Management Information System (MIS) to manage change posed by leadership challenges in appropriate socio-economic endeavours and well planned business initiatives will be vigorously pursued. OUR MOTTO
The motto of the University is “Discipline, Self Reliance and Excellence.” The rationale for this motto is that discipline is a pre-requisite condition for the achievement of any goal. Discipline embodies endurance, continuity and determination to start afresh when previous efforts fail. It is believed that discipline will give rise to self reliance, which entails confidence in one’s self and abilities. The amalgam of a disciplined mind with self confidence will yield excellence

Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria is the hosting centre for the Northern region.
He noted that the Council had repeatedly chosen UNIZIK to host the programme because of the quality of its facilities and its suitability for exposing foreign-trained pharmacists to the realities of pharmacy practice and jurisprudence in Nigeria.

Prof Ahmed disclosed that the programme lasting 16 weeks would commence with eligibility interviews and examinations for the participants, after which successful candidates would proceed with the orientation programme. He added that candidates who are unsuccessful would be required to prepare for another cycle, while those who fail repeatedly may be required to undertake a remedial programme.

He added that the University was also open to establishing a standalone College of Pharmacy when necessary.

Prof. Anyaehie further stressed that the University would ensure that facilities were adequate before increasing student admission quotas, noting that the goal was to provide students with a conducive environment for learning and training. He assured the Pharmacy Council of the University’s readiness to support the programme and contribute to the development of pharmacy education and professional training in Nigeria.
