Nasarawa State University Keffi has posted a strong performance in the 2025 accreditation exercise conducted by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and relevant professional bodies, reaffirming its growing reputation for academic quality and institutional compliance.

The comprehensive assessment covered 26 academic programmes across multiple faculties, with 25 programmes receiving Full Accreditation status and one programme granted Interim Accreditation.

The exercise evaluated programmes across Administration, Arts, Education, Environmental Sciences, Law, Natural and Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, and Allied Health Sciences. Several professional programmes, including Urban and Regional Planning and Health Information Management, also received full accreditation from their respective regulatory bodies.

Home Sciences and Management was the only programme placed on Interim Status, indicating partial compliance with accreditation requirements and the need to address identified gaps before full approval can be secured.
