The letter from NUC entitled: “Results of October/November Accreditation of Academic Programmes in Nigerian Universities said: “The National Universities Commission has the statutory mandate to accredit academic programmes in Nigerian universities.
“Pursuant to this mandate and in consonance with the provisions of government’s approved guidelines, initial accreditation of a programme is held after the programme has run for two academic sessions following approval for the establishment of the programmes.
Therefore, the Commission accredits the approved programmes as and when due. Consequently, the NUC organised the accreditation of academic programmes at Federal University, Oye-Ekiti in October/November 2021.”
Reacting to the successful result of the October/November 2021 accreditation, the Acting Registrar, Mr Mufutau Ibrahim said: “Since the commencement of this administration, we have been working assiduously to ensure that all of our programmes are fully accredited. The vice chancellor is trying his best with the management team to provide human and material resources needed for the accreditation and that is what gave us the glory”
