University of Ibadan (UI) Gets NUC Full Accreditation Status for 24 Programmes

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has the statutory mandate to accredit academic programmes in all Nigerian Universities. Pursuant to this mandate and in consonance with the provisions of the current Government approved guidelines, initial accreditation of a new programme is held after the programme has run for two academic sessions following approval for the establishment of the programme. Thereafter, the Commission accredits the approved programmes as and when due. Consequently, the NUC organised the accreditation of academic programmes at the University of Ibadan, Ibada in October/November, 2021. The result of the exercise is as follows:
