The National Universities Commission (NUC) is a statutory body under the Federal Ministry of Education (FME) in Nigeria. Established in 1962 as an advisory agency, it has since evolved into a vital arm of government responsible for the development and management of university education in the country. Led by Prof.

Abubakar Adamu Rasheed, the NUC ensures the quality assurance of academic programs, approves the establishment of higher educational institutions, and grants approval for all academic programs run in Nigerian universities. The Commission also serves as a channel for external support to Nigerian universities. With twelve directorates headed by experienced directors, the NUC has achieved remarkable success due to strong leadership, dedicated staff, and cooperation from universities and the government.

Committed to improving the quality of tertiary education, the NUC seeks sustained support and understanding from universities, the government, and other stakeholders. For more information, visit the NUC's official website and connect with them on social media platforms
