NATIONAL UNIVERSITIES COMMISSION (NUC) CONDUCTS FIRST ACADEMIC PROGRAMME ACCREDITATION EXERCISE AT SPIRITAN UNIVERSITY NNEOCHI (SUN)

Ten (10) panels, made up of ten (10) NUC Coordinators and thirty (30) professors from the federal, state and private universities, and the six (6) geopolitical zones of the country, were at the Spiritan University Nneochi from January 19th-29th, 2022 for the institution’s First National Universities Commission Academic Programme Accreditation Exercise (October/November 2021 Edition).

The ten (10) newly matured academic programmes visited for accreditation include Accounting, Banking & Finance, Business Administration, Economics, Political Science and English. Others are Biochemistry, Computer Science, Microbiology and Physics.

Recall that Spiritan University Nneochi (SUN) was licensed and approved by the Federal Ministry of Education and National Universities Commission in December 2017. However, it commenced academic activities in the 2018/2019 session with ten (10) of the fifteen (15) approved take-off programmes.

In compliance with the Provisions of the Act regulating the conduct of accreditation of mature academic programmes in Nigerian Universities, No. iii, which states: Newly approved academic programmes that run for a minimum of two (2) consecutive academic sessions, the National Universities Commission was at SUN with ten (10) panels of seasoned and experienced professors and academicians to dutifully perform its statutory function of ensuring academic standards and quality assurance in the Nigerian University System (NUS).

From our experience, academic programme accreditation exercise is both very tasking and expensive, though worth it. It is said: If you think that education is expensive, try ignorance.
