NUC Releases List Of Unaccredited University Courses

A list of courses have been rendered null and void by the Nigerian University Commission, due to the fact that they have not been accredited.

This poses a serious problem to both current and past students of those courses as the certificates issued by these universities for the courses will not be officially recognized.

Premium Times reports that the 2016 Accreditation Status Report indicated that these unaccredited courses were taught in 37 out of 143 universities in the country.

The NUC insists that for a course to be accredited, it must meet the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) that has been stipulated by the commission. 

Some of the requirements include, “qualified faculty members, good learning environment and adequate teaching materials – equipment, books and journals.”

According to Premium Times, 13 federal universities, 16 state universities and eight private universities were running courses that had not been accredited. 

The biggest casualty seems to be the University of Abuja which has 15 of its courses, including Law, unaccredited.
