The National Universities Commission has ordered an audit of academic and non-academic staff of federal universities in the country, Sunday PUNCH learnt on Saturday.
A letter signed by the acting Executive Secretary of the commission, Chris Maiyaki, dated September 14, 2023 and addressed to all Vice-Chancellors, noted that the order followed a permission granted by the Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman.

The message read, “The National Universities Commission has briefed the Honourable Minister of Education on the need for a manpower audit, preparatory to a well-informed manpower planning befitting the exponential expansion being experienced in the Nigerian university system.
“Consequently, the Honourable Minister of Education has directed Vice-Chancellors of all Nigerian universities to conduct a manpower audit in their respective institutions. The reports of the envisaged audit should encapsulate their staffing profiles including nominal rolls with staff file numbers according to their full time, visiting or adjunct categories, to be submitted in both hard and soft copies through the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, for onward transmission to the good offices of the Honourable Minister of Education.”
While indicating the address the information should be forwarded to, the message added, “I am to emphasise that there is some degree of urgency implicit in the ministerial directive, which responses are expected on or before Monday, 9 October, 2023.

Many of them are flying fake certificates...!!!
When you see University professors helping to rig criminals into power you definately know there is problem somewhere nobody is talking about....!!!

I think this will check accreditation fraud of most of the universities. Most of them don't have manpower to run the system but during accreditation, you'd see them hiring all manner of people. The staff data with NUC will check the irregularities.
