C. SITUATION ANALYSIS Accommodation: The Centre is currently being housed at the former Faculty of Management Sciences Building.

The Centre is particularly grateful to the University for making this possible through the TETFUND supported building projects; Classroom: The Centre teaches the Student in its Conference room and two other rooms (Offices) at its present office block (former Faculty of Management Sciences Building). However, some Lecturers teaches their students at their Faculties; Accreditation: The two major academic programs (GDS and SOW) are yet to be accredited by NUC. The first set of students (2013/2014 session) are yet to graduate Examination: CGDS already conducted First Semester examination for the 2013/2014 sets of postgraduate students.  Result Processing: Results of the First Semester examination for the 2013/2014 academic Session is under processing.   3/2/2016
