The National Universities Commission, NUC, has denied 11 private
universities operating in Nigeria full operational licenses for their
inability to meet set standards three years after they were issued
provisional licenses.
Speaking at the presentation of the full operational licenses to nine other private universities, the NUC Executive Secretary, Julius Okojie, said the 11 affected private universities were given two years to get their full operational licenses, but failed to get in in three.
The affected universities are:
Wesley University of Science and Technology
Landmark University
Rhema University
Samuel Adegboyega University
Paul University
Oduduwa University
Tansian University
Baze University
Obong University
Achievers University
Wellspring University.
Mr. Okojie explained that the provisional license was intended to create room for effective mentoring and qualitative growth within the first three years of operation of a new private university.
He did not mention any punitive measure for the affected universities.
He however added that the commission monitors the activities of universities in the country, and inspects and penalises them through the accreditation process.
