The letter addressed to the vice chancellor and signed by the commission’s Deputy Director of Accreditation, on behalf of the Executive Secretary, Prof. Rasheed Abubakar reads in part: “NUC has the statutory mandate to accredit academic programmes in all Nigerian universities.
Pursuant to this mandate and in consonance with the provisions of the current government approved guidelines, initial accreditation of a new undergraduate programme is held after the course has run for two academic sessions following approval for establishment of the programme.
Similarly, initial accreditation of a new postgraduate programme is held after the course has been run for one academic session.
A statement by the institution’s registrar, Omololu Adegbenro and made available to The Guardian said six engineering programmes run by the institution are Automotive Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering as well as Information and Communication Engineering all got full accreditation, while International Relations was also fully accredited.
