– List of courses that have not been accredited in Nigerian universities have been released
– A certificate issued for those courses will be considered void
– The university of Abuja has the highest number of unaccredited courses
National Universities Commission, NUC, has released a list of unaccredited courses in Nigerian universities.
Certificates issued by universities for these courses will not be officially recognized. This poses a threat to students that are studying any of the courses or who might have graduated with such certificate.
As reported by Premium Times, before a course can be accredited in a university, it must have qualified faculty members, good learning environment and adequate teaching materials – equipment, books, and journals.
The Quality Assurance Department of the NUC is in charge of accrediting courses in the Nigerian universities.
The report shows that 13 federal universities, 16 state universities and eight private universities were running courses that had not been accredited.
High profile schools like University of Nigeria, Nsukka, University of Benin(UNIBEN), University of Jos(UNIJOS) and University of Calabar(UNICAL) were also featured among the list of schools with unaccredited courses.
The University of Abuja has the highest number of unaccredited courses. Fifteen of its courses, including Law, are unaccredited.
The list of unaccredited courses and their universities are shown below:
