Newgate University Minna (NUM) Gets NUC Approval For 10 Academic Programmes

Newgate University, Minna (NUM) has secured full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) for ten of its academic programmes.

This approval came after a comprehensive evaluation carried out by the commission’s accreditation team.

Programmes That Now Hold Full NUC Accreditation:

• Medical Laboratory Science
• Nursing Science
• Public Health
• Software Engineering
• Information Technology
• Cyber Security
• Business Administration
• Accounting
• International Relations and Diplomatic Studies
• Mass Communication and Journalism

What Led to This Approval?

The process wasn’t a walk in the park. It followed an in-depth resource verification and quality assessment exercise carried out by the NUC. The commission thoroughly reviewed NUM’s academic facilities, teaching staff qualifications, curriculum standards, and infrastructure.

The accreditation panel was headed by Dr. Victoria Pillah, who serves as the Deputy Director of Programme Planning at the NUC. She was joined by a team of experts including:

• Mr. Abdulraheem M. Ahmad – Chief Inspection and Monitoring Officer
• Mrs. Victoria Okay – Assistant Chief Officer, Office of the Executive Secretary
• Mr. Ogbojibrede Onome – Assistant Chief Human Resources Officer

Their visit involved classroom inspections, document reviews, faculty interactions, and infrastructure evaluations to ensure NUM met the commission’s standards.

Why This Matters

Getting NUC accreditation isn’t just a ceremonial nod; it’s a green light that tells students and parents the university is delivering quality education that meets national standards. For students, it means their degrees are valid, recognized, and respected—both locally and internationally.

It’s also a vote of confidence in the university’s vision to produce globally competitive graduates across vital fields in health, technology, business, and social sciences.

What It Says About Newgate University

This accreditation reflects NUM’s growing academic credibility and its dedication to excellence. It’s a clear signal that the institution is not only expanding but doing so with a focus on quality, relevance, and innovation.

As the demand for skilled professionals rises—especially in areas like cybersecurity, software engineering, and health sciences—this move puts Newgate University in a strong position to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s human capital development.
