Yobe State University has received full accreditation status for five programmes accreditated during the October/November, 2021 accreditation of academic programmes by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The five programmes that got the full accreditation are English Language, Law, Biology, Computer Science and Statistics.
According to a statement signed by Uwani Z. Mamuda, Deputy Registrar, Information of the institution, the development means that Yobe State University has all its forty-one (41) undergraduate programmes fully accredited.
The result for the accreditation is contained in a letter signed by the Director of Accreditation of the commission Dr Maryam Sali. NUC has the statutory mandate to accredit academic programmes in all Nigerian universities. The letter stated that in consonance with the provisions of the current government approved guidelines, initial accreditation of new programmes is held after running the programmes for two academic sessions following the approval for their establishment.
Approval of new programmes and their accreditation were based on the criteria laid down by the NUC.
Speaking to a team from the Information Unit of the University shortly after receiving the result from the NUC, the Vice-Chancellor Yobe State University, Professor Mala M. Daura, expressed his gratitude for the achievement recorded by the University in respect of the accreditation exercise.
He used the forum to thank the Executive Governor of Yobe State, Honorable Mai Mala Buni, for the huge infrastructural and necessary support given to see the success of the exercise, and thanked NUC for the assessment and grant of full accreditation for the programmes.
