National Universities Commission
About NUC
The National Universities Commission (NUC) is a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Education (FME). In its over 47 years of existence, the Commission has transformed from a small office in the cabinet office to an important arm of government in the area of development and management of university education in Nigeria.
The main functions of the Commission are as follows:
  1. Granting approval for all academic programmes run in Nigerian universities;
  2. Granting approval for the establishment of all higher educational institutions offering degree programmes in Nigerian universities;
  3. Ensure quality assurance of all academic programmes offered in Nigerian universities; and
  4. Channel for all external support to the Nigerian universities.
The Commission has six departments; Department of Academic Standards, Department of Inspection and Monitoring, Department of Management Support Services, Department of Students Support Services, Department of Research and Innovations and the Executive Secretary’s Office. Each of the departments is headed by a Director.
The Commission has recorded significant successes since its inception. These can be attributed to quality of leadership, dedication and commitment of the staff, the quality of its Board members, cooperation received from Universities and support from the Federal Government.
As a coordinating body, the Commission ensures it discharges its responsibilities by recruiting adequate and relevant man power and appeals to the Universities for their sustained support and understanding. The Commission also relies on support from the Federal Government, State Governments and other stakeholders in its bid to improve on the quality of tertiary education and graduates of the nation’s university system.

PUBLIC NOTICE / DISCLAIMER

         The attention of the Nigeria High Commission, London, has been drawn to certain publications and commentaries currently in circulation regarding the administrative fees applicable to the ongoing Passport Intervention Exercise.

While the Mission appreciates the interest, goodwill and engagement of members of the Nigerian diaspora, it has become necessary to clarify that some of the information contained in those publications are inaccurate and do not represent the official position of the High Commission.

For the avoidance of doubt, any claim suggesting that an administrative fee of £70.00 received presidential approval is incorrect. The approved standard administrative charge remains £20.00.

The High Commission therefore wishes to clearly and respectfully dissociate itself from any inaccurate or misleading information not issued through its authorised channels and to state unequivocally that such publications did not emanate from the Mission.

Accordingly, members of the public are advised to disregard any information that is not communicated through the authorised channels of the Nigeria High Commission, London.

The High Commission remains committed to the continued delivery of efficient services to members of the public.
