Universities Must Prepare Graduates For Realities Of Modern Media Practice – NUC

As the media industry undergoes rapid technological transformation, the National Universities Commission (NUC) has called on universities to align communication education with the realities of professional practice, emphasising practical competence, critical judgement and ethical responsibility.

The charge came as a three-member NUC accreditation panel, led by Professor Sunday Udeje, commenced the assessment of Aletheia University's Mass Communication programme.

During a courtesy visit to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olukayode D. Akinyemi, the University reaffirmed its commitment to an education that integrates intellectual depth, professional relevance and societal responsibility.

The NUC said universities must go beyond theory to equip graduates with skills that meet current industry demands.
