Recall that on the 22nd November, 2024, a High-powered panel from the National Universities Commission NUC visited SAZU, as part of the accreditation exercise for October/November 2024.
However, in a letter dated 30th April 2025, signed by the Executive Secretary of NUC and addressed to the Visitor of the University, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, Executive Governor Bauchi state, the accreditation is in line with Section 10 (1) of the Education Act CAP E3, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, which empowers the NUC to lay down minimum Academic Standard for all academic programmes taught in Nigerian Universities and also to accredit such programmes.
This accreditation is seen as a major breakthrough for SAZU, enabling it to compete with its counterparts in the country. The university remains committed to providing quality education and producing graduates who can make a positive impact in society.
