“The NUC released the list of the 25 universities that have full accreditation of their courses in its Dec. 2021 report released recently by the Executive Secretary of the commission, Prof. Abubakar Rasheed.”

According to the institute’s image maker, Kebbi State University is the only university among all the Federal and State Universities that attained such a peak in three states of Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara, with its courses accredited by the NUC.
