5.0Suggestions on Ways by which the IGR Base of the College can be improved i.Postgraduate programmes should be introduced in all the Departments of the University especially Postgraduate Diploma Programmes. Postgraduate Diploma programme is recommended to be introduced in Auditing and Taxation in the Department of Accounting. This is yet to be run in any Southwest University. This will be an opportunity for those in the ministries handling specialized Accounting functions to develop themselves. ii.The professional Masters’ programmes (MBA, MPA, MILR, MEM and MIT) should be made more viable to attract more applicants, which will in turn improve the IGR of the College. a. Timely release of scores by lecturers and computation of results for approval by the officers involved. b. A review of admission requirements in line with what obtain in sister universities. 

iii.Advanced Diploma programmes should be introduced in the areas like, Health services, Local Government administration, Accounting and Banking and Finance which will be targeted mainly at the personnel in those areas. iv.Postgraduate College should get involved in researches and consultancy programmes to both Governmental and Non-Governmental Organizations. v.The College should organize periodic seminars/workshops which will in-turn fetch money for the College.

vi.The College of Postgraduate Studies should have its own portal for easy accessibility by prospective candidates. Competent hands should also be engaged to manage the portal. vii.Laboratory facilities should be made available at all the Departments running Postgraduate programmes especially those in Agricultural Sciences, Arts, Engineering, Sciences and Social Sciences.
