The Quality Assurance Department of the NUC is in charge of accrediting courses in the universities.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">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: \u201cqualified faculty members, good learning environment and adequate teaching materials \u2013 equipment, books and journals\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=9761&amp;ad_type=59&amp;rl=180\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the NUC, accreditation is necessary to ensure \u201cemployers 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.\u201d It also says it is also important to certify courses to assure \u201cthe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the commission, the pre-accreditation process include \u201cdrawing 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The post-accreditation activities include \u201canalyzing 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">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.
