RSU Receives Full Accreditation In 18 Courses
The authorities of Rivers State University, Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Port Harcourt says it has received full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) for all 18 programmes presented to the commission.
The institution said the approval for the academic programmes followed the last accreditation exercise conducted by the commission in October/November 2023.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Nlerum Okogbule, disclosed this during a press briefing at the Council auditorium in Port Harcourt , recently.
Prof. Okogbule said it was the second time the institution has achieved 100 accreditation exercises since its inception, following a similar milestone last year.
He stated, “It is my pleasure to inform you and the general public that Rivers State University scored 100 per cent in the October/November 2023 Accreditation Exercise conducted by the National Universities Commission.
“The university obtained full Accreditation status for all 18 academic programmes presented for the exercise.
“This is a rare and unprecedented feat in the annals of the history of the University. It is the second time that the university will record this level of success in the accreditation exercise since its establishment in 1980. It will be recalled that last year we received 100 per cent in the 24 programs presented.”
On the availability of facilities for the newly accredited programmes, Prof. Okogbule noted that the university has the needed facilities in place to run the programmes.
He stated, “The clause of every accreditation exercise looked at not only the academic programme, the content, the staff, and all that but also the physical facilities. They looked at the number of classrooms you have, the staff offices, all those things, the laboratories, and so on.
“So it’s on the basis of that, that they came up with their recommendations and in our own case, in respect of these programmes inspected, we have satisfied and met the requirements for the running of these programmes.
So they looked at the facilities and found them worthy, but as I always say, we can always improve. We can always add to what is available.”
