CUCIRF Director Launches Short Course in Medicinal Chemistry
The Director of the Covenant University Central Instrumentation Research Facility, Professor Akan Bassey Williams has initiated a ground-breaking short course certificate program in Medicinal Chemistry, aiming to eventually propose its elevation to a full-fledged Master’s degree course. This forward-thinking initiative underscores Prof Williams’ dedication to advancing knowledge and professional development opportunities. The six-week course commenced on the 9th of January 2025, drawing an impressive attendance of over 60 participants, with an additional 20 individuals expressing interest in the program. This overwhelming response reflects the significance and appeal of the subject matter. Participants have lauded the course for its robust and engaging content, which seamlessly blends theoretical insights with practical applications. This initiative through the director of CUCIRF greatly enhances the academic contributions of the facility to Covenant University and also positions it as a pioneer in Medicinal Chemistry and a hub for cutting-edge knowledge in this area. The course is led by a distinguished visiting lecturer from Roosevelt University, USA, Dr. Oluseye Onajole whose expertise has greatly enriched the learning experience. Lectures are conducted at Covenant University, in the CUCIRF and the Post Graduate seminar rooms respectively, and also at our sister institution Landmark University – Omu Aran, fostering a collaborative and dynamic educational environment. We look forward to seeing this program grow and evolve into a Master’s degree offering, further expanding the University’s academic delivery as a global frontline.
