The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has received full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) for all its academic programmes, a status not achieved by the institution in many years. The announcement was made by UNIBEN's Public Relations Officer, Benedicta Ehanire, in a statement released on Sunday in Benin. She stated that the accreditation followed a rigorous assessment conducted by the NUC between October and November 2025 across all faculties, schools, and centres. The official letter communicating the outcome was dated 7 April and addressed to the Vice-Chancellor, Edoba Omoregie. Responding to the development, Omoregie credited the success to sustained institutional effort and a collective commitment to academic excellence. He acknowledged the contributions of the university's Senate, departments, and committees in meeting accreditation benchmarks. The accreditation is valid until 2030 and confirms UNIBEN's compliance with national academic standards, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
