It would be recalled that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed by Ahmadu Bello University and Central South University (CSU), Changsha, China to pave way for ABU’s 300-Level engineering students with higher CGPA after a selection interview to go to CSU to complete the remaining two years in order to earn the engineering degree.
The programme all started in 2017 when ABU was picked out of seven Nigerian universities to begin as a pilot project a 3+2 joint degree programme with China Central South University (CSU), Changsha, where China’s railway technology was first invented.
