NUC ANNOUNCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TWO NEW UNIVERSITIES

The National Universities Commission has said plans are being concluded to announce the establishment of two new universities in the country which will further bring the total number of institutions in the country to 272.

The NUC’S acting Executive Secretary, Chris Maiyaki, disclosed this in Abuja stating that the commission would continue to approve new universities to cater for the admissions gap in the country.

Maiyaki’s stance comes amidst the fight of the Academic Staff Union of Universities and other stakeholders in the tertiary education sub-sector against the proliferation of institutions in the country by the government at the Federal and State levels.
