FUD Secures Full NUC Accreditation for 7 Degree Programmes — What It Means for Students
In a significant academic milestone, the Federal University Dutse (FUD) has received full accreditation for seven of its undergraduate programmes, following a comprehensive evaluation by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
This move solidifies FUD’s growing reputation as a university delivering quality education that meets national standards. The announcement was formally confirmed in a memo signed by Engineer Abraham Chundusu, Acting Director of Accreditation at the NUC, and addressed to FUD’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abdulkarim Sabo Muhammed.
What This Means
For JAMB candidates, current students, and parents tracking university progress, accreditation is not just a routine stamp. It is a national validation that a university’s academic offerings meet the standards required for graduates to be recognized across Nigeria and beyond. Without it, a degree may lack official credibility.
The newly accredited programmes now have a green light to operate fully for the next five years before undergoing another review. Here’s what made the list:
Courses That Earned Full Accreditation
- B.Sc Insurance
- B.Forestry
- B.Sc Computing
- B.Ed Islamic Studies
- B.Ed Library and Information Science
- B.Ed Primary Education
- B.Sc Biotechnology
These programmes were rigorously reviewed in October and November 2024. The NUC teams assessed several factors, including curriculum content, staffing strength, teaching facilities, and alignment with national academic benchmarks.
Behind the Accreditation: Quiet Excellence
While there were no loud celebrations, FUD’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abdulkarim Sabo Muhammed, expressed appreciation to the NUC for its objective review. He also praised the university’s academic staff and administrative units—particularly the Directorate of Academic Planning and Quality Assurance—for their commitment and teamwork.
“This outcome reflects the quiet but steady efforts of our academic community. It is a confirmation that we are doing the right things, even when no one is watching,” he stated.
Why This Matters for Students
For students currently enrolled—or planning to enroll—this is a game-changer. Full NUC accreditation ensures that your degree will be recognized for NYSC participation, job opportunities, and postgraduate studies both in Nigeria and abroad.
More importantly, it signals to potential employers and institutions that these programmes are up to standard.
Bottom Line:
FUD’s accreditation success is a strong win for its students, staff, and prospective applicants. For JAMB candidates looking for accredited degree paths, these seven programmes at FUD are now officially among the safe, recognized options.
