11 Nigerian Universities are substandard - NUC

The National Universities Commission, NUC, on Thursday denied 11 private universities operating in Nigeria full operational licenses for their inability to meet set standards three years after they were issued provisional licenses.

Speaking at the presentation of the full operational licenses to nine other private universities, the NUC Executive Secretary, Julius Okojie, said the 11 affected private universities were given two years to get their full operational licenses, but failed to get in in three.

The affected universities are Wesley University of Science and Technology, Landmark University, Rhema University, Samuel Adegboyega University, Paul University, Oduduwa University, Tansian University, Baze University, Obong University, Achievers University and Wellspring University.
Mr. Okojie, who did not mention any punitive measure for the affected universities, explained that the provisional license was intended to create room for effective mentoring and qualitative growth within the first three years of operation of a new private university.

He noted that the universities were also to be monitored by NUC to ensure that they comply with the original purpose of establishment.

“That was also part of NUC’s initiative for early warning signals to detect compromises in quality for the application of corrective and remedial measures to redress such situations,” he said.
He added that the commission monitors the activities of universities in the country, and inspects and penalises them through the accreditation process.

“If we don’t monitor them now they will have problems. So they will slow down on programmes, (we) look at their staff strength and look at their programmes,” he said.
Also speaking, the Vice chancellor of Caleb University, Ayodeji Olukoju, said private universities are the way forward for tertiary education in the country.

He said since interim licenses were given, the institutions had focused on academic programme development, system development and infrastructural development.

The nine universities that received full operational licenses are Veritas University, Caleb University, Geofery Okoye University, Fountain University, Adeleke University, Western Delta University, Afe Babalola University, Salem University and Nigerian Turkish Nile University.

    1. Linda NUC really need to do sth about some of these private universities, cos they are all thieves, if only the likes of Adedoyin the owner of Oduduwa University can stop bin a selfish and ruthless dictator his university would become one of the best private universities in d country but the man is a big criminal refusing to do what is right and I don't blame him I blame those stupid federal Universities dat will not grant students admission based on merit but mostly base on who u know and how much u can pay to get admission.

  21. Truth be told, the actual number on the unaccredited list of colleges far exceeds eleven. All these glorified secondary schools better serve the nation well by focusing on technological/vocational skills acquisition in partnership with viable industries. Seems previous emphasis on these empty degrees has done more harm than good esp to our youths in the job market and the ability to undertake enterpreneural risks. QED@atm

  26. May Allah continue to bless you my President. Please do not forget to look into the issue of Petroleum Technology Development Fund(PTDF). There are a lot of scholarship racketeering going on there. They are kingpins running that agency, who award scholarships to their friends, family and kindred. The scholarships are also being sold to the public. This is not what it was meant to be. Thank you Mr President.
