Koladaisi University, Ibadan, has recorded a significant milestone in its academic development after receiving full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) for five health science programmes considered critical to Nigeria’s healthcare workforce and national development agenda.
The accreditation covers Nursing Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Public Health, Human Anatomy, and Human Physiology, reinforcing the institution’s growing profile in health-related education.
The approval was formally communicated to the university through a letter addressed to its Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adeniyi Olatunbosun (SAN), following a nationwide accreditation exercise conducted by the NUC across Nigerian universities.
According to the Commission, the assessment was carried out in accordance with Section 10(1) of the Education (National Minimum Standards and Establishment of Institutions) Act. In the correspondence signed by Abraham Chundusu on behalf of the Executive Secretary, the NUC confirmed that all the programmes presented by the university attained Full Accreditation status, a recognition that remains valid for five years.
University officials described the outcome as a strong endorsement of the institution’s commitment to quality assurance, academic excellence, and international best practices.
In a statement issued by the Registrar, Haruna Adetu, the university said the accreditation reflects years of deliberate investment in teaching standards, infrastructure, governance, and student development.
“The full accreditation granted to all the programmes presented by the university is a strong affirmation of the high academic standards, quality faculty, modern facilities, and robust governance structure put in place by the management under the leadership of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Adeniyi Olatunbosun, SAN,” the statement noted.
Before granting approval, NUC evaluation teams carried out a comprehensive review of several critical areas. These included curriculum content, staffing strength, laboratory facilities, library resources, governance systems, physical infrastructure, and student support services.
The university believes the outcome will further strengthen public confidence in its ability to deliver quality education, particularly in health disciplines that play an increasingly important role in advancing national development and improving healthcare outcomes.
Koladaisi University also reaffirmed its commitment to producing graduates equipped with the knowledge, professional competence, and character required to compete successfully in the global workforce.
