In what has been described as unprecedented, Ekiti State University (EKSU) has scored 100% in the last accreditation of Academic programs carried out by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

During the accreditation exercise in late 2017, the University presented thirty-eight (38) academic programs to the NUC visitation teams; all were accredited.

In a letter written to the University by the NUC, thirty-five (35) out of the academic programs received full accreditation status, while three (3) got interim accreditation.

The EKSU Vice Chancellor, Professor Samuel Oye Bandele, gave the breakdown of the accredited academic programs across the faculties to include full accreditation for Accounting, Banking and Finance, and Business Administration in the Faculty of Management Sciences and all courses presented in the faculty of Agricultural Sciences.

Similarly, the seven academic programs presented for accreditation in the Faculty of Arts received full accreditation.

Also, thirteen (13) academic programs in the Faculty of Education scaled through with full accreditation by the NUC and the Faculty of Science, recorded full accreditation in eight (8) courses presented, including Microbiology, Biochemistry, Zoology, Science Laboratory Technology, and Plant Science.

Mechanical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering got full accreditation and scaled through in the Faculty of the Social Sciences: Sociology and Geography and Planning Science.

The three courses which got interim accreditation are Education Electrical/Electronics Technology, Education Metal, and Auto Mechanic Technology, as well as Psychology in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Professor Bandele said the College of Medicine had already been duly accredited by relevant professional bodies and the NUC.

Commenting on the feat, the Vice Chancellor said, “This time is a good time for education in Ekiti State following the number one position of Ekiti State in NECO in the entire country, and now the State-owned University has emerged as one of the best Universities in Nigeria with full accreditation for all its programs presented in the last accreditation exercise.

Professor Bandele commended the Visitor to the University, Governor Ayodele Fayose, who gave all necessary support for the success of the accreditation exercise and thanked the Pro-Chancellor, Chairman of the Governing Council, Dele Adesina, SAN, for his commitment and thoroughness in achieving the feat.
