UNIDEL Gains NUC Approval for New Computing Programmes

The University of Delta, Agbor (UNIDEL) has received approval from the National Universities Commission (NUC) to introduce two new academic programmes for the 2025/2026 session.

The newly accredited courses are B.Sc. Data Science and B.Sc. Information Science, both within the Faculty of Computing.

The approval follows a successful resource verification exercise conducted by a panel of NUC experts, as confirmed in a release signed by Abubakar Girel, Acting Director of Academic Planning, on behalf of the NUC Executive Secretary.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Stella Chiemeke expressed delight at the development, urging staff to remain focused, diligent, and productive, emphasizing that the growth and success of the university is a collective effort.

With the addition of these programmes, UNIDEL’s total number of NUC-accredited courses now stands at 96, with plans underway to secure accreditation for additional programmes in the near future.
