NUC Releases List Of Unaccredited Courses In Nigerian Universities


 


The National Universities Commission (NUC) has released a list of unaccredited courses in Nigerian universities.
The NUC warned that any certificate issued for these courses will be considered void.
The university of Abuja has the highest number of unaccredited courses, having 15 of its courses, including Law, unaccredited.
According to the NUC, 13 federal universities, 16 state universities and eight private universities were running courses that had not been accredited.
The unaccredited courses pose serious danger to students who study them as the certificates issued by these universities for the courses will not be officially recognised.
Reports has it that 2016 accreditation status report indicated that these unaccredited courses were taught in 37 out of 143 universities in the country.
The Quality Assurance Department of the NUC is in charge of accrediting courses in the universities.
The NUC insists that for a course to be accredited, it must meet the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) that has been stipulated by the commission.
Some of the requirements include: “qualified faculty members, good learning environment and adequate teaching materials – equipment, books and journals”.
According to the NUC, accreditation is necessary to ensure “employers and other members of the community that Nigerian graduates of all academic programmes have attained an acceptable level of competency in their areas of specialization.”
It also says it is also important to certify courses to assure “the international community that the programmes offered in Nigerian Universities are of high standards and that graduates of the institutions are adequate for employment and further studies.”
According to the commission, the pre-accreditation process include “drawing up a list of academic programmes to be certified, compilation of list of panel chairmen/members, time-tabling, budgeting and organizing the accreditation coordination meeting for panel chairmen and members in a simulation workshop.”
The post-accreditation activities include “analyzing accreditation reports (technical and administrative), ranking of programmes and universities based on their accreditation status, publishing of accreditation status of programmes, issuance of certificates to programmes that earned full and interim accreditation results.”
Some of the high profile institutions include University of Nigeria, Nsukka; University of Benin, University of Jos, University of Calabar.

Here’s Proof Naira Is Onto Its Longest Gaining Streak In The Parallel Market

It’s official, the Naira is currently on track to ride on its longest running gaining streak against the dollar in the parallel market. From hitting a low of N490 against the dollar the naira has since gained by about N40 to close at N454 on Monday. If it sustains this gain this week,  then we are likely going to witness the longest streak of gain against the dollar in recent times. Analysts had expected the naira to cross the N500 band by October following a downward spiral that coincided with the ban of some commercial banks by the CBN as well as a spike in demand for dollars to meet up school fees for the fall. The liquidity bit so hard it was nearly impossible to buy dollars on the black market for the same price within a space of an hour. However, the naira regained strength after news that Travelex was going to commence operations in Nigeria and has remained strong since it commenced operations about a week ago. According to information from some BDC’s, most

Revealed :How FG, others shared N420bn in September

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that three tiers of government shared N420 billion as revenue for September as against N510.3 billion shared in August. The minister of finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun through her permanent secretary, Mr Mahmoud Isa-Dutse, said this in Abuja on Thursday, October 20, at the monthly revenue allocation to federal, states and local governments. She said the revenue allocation to federal, states and local government for September dropped by N90.2 billion. Adeosun credited the drop to the loss of 45.5 million dollars in federation export sales, despite the increase in average price of crude oil from 46.06 dollars per barrel in May to 48.4 dollars in June.

Are Gencos generating more debt than power?

The Nigerian electricity industry has been under a lot of pressure. Gas supply is low and power generation has been severely affected. More worrying is that they are owned hundreds of billions of naira in debts by its customers. N93 billion of that debt is owed by Ministries and Department of Government (MDA’s). That debt cascades down the value chain of the power sector with most of it owed to power generating companies. The power sector value chain is such that power is generated by the Gencos and sold to the Marker Operators (MO), who then wheel the power  through the grid (run by transmission Company) to the Discos and then to consumers. A reverse flow starts when the customers pay their bills to the Discos and then the Discos pay the Market Operators (MO) who then pay the Gencos and then the Gencos pay the gas suppliers. For the Gencos, the above schematic is now more on paper than in reality. They hardly get enough gas to generate electricity and even when gas is
