The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has received full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) for all its academic programmes, a status valid until 2030. The accreditation follows an evaluation exercise conducted in October and November 2025 across the university's faculties, schools, and centres. The result was communicated to Vice-Chancellor Edoba Omoregie in a letter dated April 7, 2026. UNIBEN's Public Relations Officer, Dr Benedicta Ehanire, confirmed the development in a statement released on Sunday. Omoregie credited the outcome to sustained institutional effort and compliance with academic standards, reaffirming his administration's commitment to strengthening undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Students can now enroll or continue in any UNIBEN programme with assurance that all courses meet current national academic standards. They should verify their specific department's accreditation status through official university channels to confirm continued compliance.
