The Nigerian University Commission (NUC) has reiterated its commitment to the international benchmark in providing 21st-century knowledge-driven education and fostering intellectual growth across the country.
The NUC Deputy Director, Account and Finance, Mrs Anthonia Bawa, spoke in Ikere-Ekiti, Ikere Council Area of Ekiti State on Tuesday during the opening ceremony of the accreditation exercise of 45 academic programmes at the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology.
Bawa said that NUC, as the regulatory agency for universities in Nigeria was irrevocably committed to ensuring proper development of university education and implementation of minimum academic standards.
She expressed joy the commission is achieving its goals and objectives going by the distinguished quality of graduates being produced by Nigerian universities who she said can favourably compete with their counterparts in other climes.
According to her, the accreditation exercise was not to witch-hunt anyone but rather to verify the quality of physical facilities and human resources available for the commencement of new programmes.
