Nigerian universities have cancelled pre-degree and diploma programmes.
According to reports,
the National Universities Commission, NUC, instructed that universities
ignore such programmes, leaving them for polytechnics and concentrating
efforts in harnessing human capital in the core undergraduate,
part-time and postgraduate courses.
Abubakar Adamu Rasheed, executive
secretary of the commission, gave this order at meeting held between
Monday, October 10 and Wednesday, October 12, 2016, with vice
chancellors of universities across the country.
Rasheed also directed that the research
directorate of NUC be reinforced to work with those of the universities
in order to co-ordinate research activities in universities and ensure
that the output is relevant in reference to context.
He also said the NUC would merge old,
experienced and young, vibrant academics to ensure a not-only dynamic
curricula, but one that is also responsive to national needs, and
conforms to global trends.
