Hey guys, 102 university programmes have been stopped by the National Universities Commission in Nigeria after a recent evaluation of programmes. 26 universities where affected by this for falling short of prescribed minimum standard.

The worst hit is university of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, which lost 24 out of its 56 programmes.

University of Ibadan got 33 programmes accredited, 18 with interim accreditation while only one course, Law, was denied accreditation.

Igbinedion University, Okada had no programme accredited but five had interim accreditation.

Executive Secretary of the NUC, Professor Peter Okebukola, said if after two years, the deficiencies are not remedied, the programmes with interim accreditation would automatically revert to denied status.
He warned candidates not to apply for the affected programmes through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for the 2006/2007 University Matriculation Examination, pre-degree or diploma programmes.

What is happening to Nigerian Educational System?

One Word...Reformation

Thanks 4 the info pal.................

hun !! big REFORMATION !!!

So what happens to all the prospective students who have already entered one of the various courses into the universities where accreditation was denied. Let's take my sister as a case study, she entered law as her course of choice in the UI, and Law for Unilag as her choice number 2 in this forthcoming JAMB Exams 2006/7. Unilag allegedly does not like to be chosen as a second school of choice (am I right? if not let me know). What can she do about this? Pls she needs help as soon as possible. Let me include that she has already submitted the form

na wa for these schools o. heard that canaan got all her courses accredited? that school is going places

@ Adetola, simply click the link in my 1st post above and read more about it. Actually, for those who are already doing the courses, they would be allowed to complete their programmes but for new intakes, students have been warned not to apply for those programmes recently denied accreditation. I'm afraid that your sis might be affected by this. Sorry about that but I think she could go and obtain a change of institution form from JAMB and be sure of any other institution she's going to choose.

I just read about this topic on the papers on line I feel really sorry for the undergrads who get affected by this, it must be really hard on them. True enough,we're to see NUCís decision as a wake up call for improvement in quality of education in Nigerian univerisities and sadly that's just harsh reality.I can't even imagine what they(affected undergrads) would be going through right now, but it is still possible for them to transfer to UNIs where their courses are accredited right? i hope it is!

@ dejiwole: what university is that? if it's U of calabar, then you got false information because it says on the paper: "University of Calabar 12 accredited, 21 interim and four denied". unless of course, you were talking of a totally diffrent univeristy coz i'm not too familiar with their abbreviations.

dejiolowe means Covenant University in Canaan[b]land[/b].

@ Ocho - actually according to Executive Secretary of the NUC, Professor Peter Okebukola, those undergraduates in the affected course would be allowed to finish so, in otherwords, they are not affected by it. However, students who apply for such courses in schools that were affected from henceforth would have themselves to blame as they've been strongly warned not to do so.
