The University of Benin has announced that all its degree programmes have received full accreditation from the National Universities Commission, marking a significant milestone for the institution.

The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by the university’s Public Relations Officer, Benedicta Ehanire, following the release of results from the commission’s accreditation exercise conducted in October and November last year.

According to the statement, the NUC conveyed the outcome in a letter dated April 7, 2026, addressed to the Vice Chancellor, confirming that all programmes across faculties, schools, and centres met the required standards.

Vice Chancellor Edoba Omoregie attributed the achievement to the dedication and hard work of the university’s management and staff, as well as their commitment to maintaining high academic standards.

He commended the Senate, faculties, departments, and relevant committees for ensuring compliance with accreditation requirements through diligence and teamwork.

Omoregie also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to strengthening both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in line with his five-point agenda.

The full accreditation status granted to the university will remain valid for five years, running until 2030.
