As earlier reported, Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University (MOAU), Makurdi, is hosting accreditation teams from the National Universities Commission (NUC) from October 28 to December 13, 2026, as part of its commitment to maintaining academic standards and strengthening quality assurance across its academic programmes.

In furtherance of this exercise, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Timothy Terseer Alabar, on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, received NUC accreditation teams assessing the University's B.A. Philosophy, http://B.Sc. Psychology and http://B.Sc. Sociology programmes.

Speaking on behalf of the visiting accreditation teams, Professor Ani Casimir explained that the exercise was designed to evaluate the academic content and curriculum of the programmes, adequacy of academic staff, funding, library resources, students' assessment and evaluation processes, as well as available infrastructure and other learning facilities. He noted that the assessment would determine the extent to which the programmes comply with the NUC's Minimum Academic Standards and other relevant accreditation requirements.

Earlier, the Director of Academic Planning and Quality Assurance, Professor Terungwa Azende, formally presented the accreditation panel members to the Vice-Chancellor.

In his remarks, Professor Alabar described accreditation as an important peer-review mechanism for promoting quality, accountability and continuous improvement in university education in Nigeria. He expressed confidence that the visiting teams would bring their wealth of experience and professional expertise to bear on the exercise, thereby contributing meaningfully to the further development of the University's academic programmes.

The Vice-Chancellor reaffirmed the University's commitment to academic excellence, effective quality assurance and the provision of an enabling environment for teaching, learning and research. He assured the visiting teams of Management's cooperation and support to ensure a smooth and successful exercise.

The assessment of the three programmes represents another important step in the University's ongoing engagement with the NUC to strengthen academic quality, sustain institutional credibility and ensure that its graduates receive education that meets nationally prescribed standards.
