LATEST LIST OF UNACCREDITED COURSES IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES BY NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES COMMISSION (NUC)

National Universities Commission (NUC)

Lately, the National Universities Commission (NUC) has finally released the list of some courses that have not been accredited in some Nigeria university. National Universities Commission (NUC) also said that any certificate issued for those courses will be considered void and also, National Universities Commission (NUC) confirmed that the university of Abuja has the highest number of unaccredited courses which is clearly shown in the list below.

Further more the unaccredited courses pose a severe danger to students who study them as the certificates issued by these universities for the courses will not be officially recognized, hmm! this is totally unbelievable. From the reports of Premium Times, it says that the 2016 accreditation status report indicated that these unaccredited courses were taught in 37 out of 143 universities in the country (Nigeria).

However, National Universities Commission (NUC) insists that for a course to be accredited, it must meet the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) that has been stipulated and verified by the commission.

Some of the requirements of Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) basically include:

>>> Qualified faculty members.

>>> Good learning environment and adequate teaching materials equipment, books and journals.

National Universities Commission (NUC) still made the general public to know that, accreditation is very necessary to ensure employers and other members of the community that Nigerian graduates of all academic programmes have attained an acceptable level of competency in their areas of specialization or field of study.

National Universities Commission (NUC) also says it is also important to certify courses to assure “the international community that the programmes offered in Nigerian Universities are of a very  high standards and that graduates of the institutions are very adequate for employment and further studies if they wish.”

According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), the pre-accreditation process include:-

>>> Drawing up a list of academic programmes to be certified.

>>> Compilation of list of panel chairmen/members,

>>> Time-tabling.

>>> Budgeting and organizing the accreditation coordination meeting for panel chairmen and members in a simulation workshop.

The post-accreditation activities include:-

>>> Analyzing accreditation reports (technical and administrative).

>>> Ranking of programmes and universities based on their accreditation status.

>>> Publishing of accreditation status of programmes.

>>> Issuance of certificates to programmes that earned Full and Interim accreditation results.
