FUD Gets Full NUC Accreditation for Seven Degree Programmes
The National Universities Commission has granted full accreditation to seven programmes at Federal University Dutse. This recognition, valid for five years, follows a review visit in late 2024. Keep reading to see which courses made the cut and why it matters.
It’s official. Seven undergraduate programmes at Federal University Dutse (FUD) have been handed full accreditation by the National Universities Commission (NUC). A brief memo sealed the deal, signed by NUC’s Acting Director of Accreditation, Engineer Abraham Chundusu, and sent straight to the desk of FUD’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abdulkarim Sabo Muhammed.
The accreditation wasn’t handed out on a whim. It followed a formal assessment by NUC teams who visited the university during October and November 2024. They took a close look at course content, staffing, infrastructure, and whether the university’s operations lined up with national academic standards. FUD’s performance? Good enough for the green light.

What Courses Got the Nod?
Here’s the full list of programmes that secured full accreditation status:
- 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
Each of these will now run with full recognition for the next five years. After that, the university will need to go through the process again to renew their status.
A Quiet Win, But A Win Nonetheless
The Vice-Chancellor didn’t make a fuss about it, but he did issue a short thank you to the NUC for the outcome. More importantly, he gave credit where it was due, praising the staff across the faculties, departments, and the Directorate of Academic Planning and Quality Assurance. He said their hard work and consistency had paid off.
No balloons, no ceremony. Just a solid nod that FUD is doing something right in these seven areas. There’s still plenty of work to do, sure, but this gives the university a bit more credibility and breathing room.
Accreditation might sound like paperwork to most people, but for the students enrolled in these programmes, it means their degrees now carry full national weight. And for a public university like FUD, that’s not a small thing.
