The National Universities Commission (NUC) has released the List of Nigerian Universities Approved to Run Postgraduate Programs at the Masters and Ph.D. levels in Nigeria.
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has observed with great concern that some Nigerian universities are running unapproved postgraduate programs, leading to the award of Masters and Ph.D. degrees. The Commission has also observed that some Parastatals and Institutes are awarding these same postgraduate degrees, either on their own or through unapproved affiliations with Nigerian and foreign Universities. Such practices are not only unethical but also antithetical to time-tested quality assurance best practices. The qualifications/awards resulting therefrom are not recognized.
