The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has received full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) for all its academic programmes, a first in many years. The accreditation follows an assessment conducted in October and November 2025 across the university's faculties, schools and centres. Dr Benedicta Ehanire, UNIBEN's Public Relations Officer, confirmed the development in a statement released on Sunday in Benin. The NUC communicated the outcome in a letter dated April 7, addressed to the Vice-Chancellor, Mr Edoba Omoregie. Omoregie credited the achievement to sustained institutional effort and dedication to academic excellence. He praised the university's Senate, departments and committees for meeting accreditation requirements. The full accreditation is valid for five years, running until 2030. It places UNIBEN among Nigerian universities with full compliance with national academic standards.
