WARNING – If You Are Studying
Any Of These Courses In Nigerian
Universities, You Are Not in
School (SEE LIST)
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 The National
Universities Commission (NUC) has released a
list of some courses that have not been
accredited.
The unaccredited courses pose serious danger
to students who study them as the certificates
issued by these universities for the courses will
not be officially recognised.
Premium Times reports that 2016 accreditation
status report indicated that these unaccredited
courses were taught in 37 out of 143
universities in the country. The Quality
Assurance Department of the NUC is in charge
of accrediting courses in the universities.
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 the NUC, accreditation is
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.” It also says it is
also important to certify courses to assure “the
international community that the programmes
offered in Nigerian Universities are of high
standards and that graduates of the institutions
are adequate for employment and further
studies.”
According to the commission, 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.”
According to Premium Times, 13 federal
universities, 16 state universities and eight
private universities were running courses that
had not been accredited. Some of the high
profile institutions include University of Nigeria,
Nsukka; University of Benin, University of Jos,
University of Calabar. The biggest casualty
seems to be the University of Abuja which has
15 of its courses, including Law, unaccredited.
