📍 Elite Edu Consult Update | May 2025
In a significant leap forward, Sule Lamido University (SLU) in Kafin Hausa, Jigawa State, has received full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) for 12 undergraduate programmes across four major faculties.
This development marks a major win for prospective students seeking quality and officially recognised degree programmes in Nigeria.
🔍 What Is NUC Accreditation, and Why Does It Matter?
The National Universities Commission (NUC) is the top regulatory body overseeing universities in Nigeria. One of its key responsibilities is to ensure that academic programmes offered by universities meet national standards in teaching, curriculum, infrastructure, and staffing.
Accreditation is not just a formality — it determines whether your degree is valid, recognised for NYSC, and acceptable for job applications, professional qualifications, or further studies both in Nigeria and abroad.
When a course is fully accredited, it confirms that the programme has undergone thorough inspection and meets all quality benchmarks.

Faculty of Social and Management Sciences

🧪 How Did SLU Earn This Accreditation?
Between October and November 2024, the NUC conducted a full inspection of SLU’s academic environment. They evaluated critical areas such as:
✔️ Quality of teaching methods
✔️ Availability of learning materials and facilities
✔️ Qualification and adequacy of academic staff
✔️ Student support services
The positive outcome reflects the university’s effort to maintain national educational standards.
