Presenting a letter of recognition of the new university to Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State on Thursday, Executive Secretary of NUC, Prof. Abdullahi Ribadu, said the institution is now recognised as the 66th state university in Nigeria and the 278th in the Nigerian University System.

He said a copy of the recognition letter would be forwarded to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

The NUC boss however revealed that the university will only commence academic activities after the necessary resource verification.

“We want to say on the part of the Commission, we are ready and willing to support this young university. However, we need to indicate that giving a recognition letter is not equated with starting or commencement of academic activities. We will still have to undertake what is called resource verification.

“The Commission will visit when the university is ready, it will invite the Commission to go and look at the state of affairs, to look at the infrastructure, to look at the classrooms, look at the library, look at the staffing.

” After that, the Commission will give the go-ahead for commencement of academic activities. It is pertinent to note that this university becomes the 66th state university, ” he said.

On his part, the Ebonyi State Governor said the university was proclaimed in 2021, adding that the reason for its establishment is to increase access to higher education.

Governor Nwifuru also assured of adequate funding of the University, saying,” the need for adequate funding for sustainability of institution of this magnitude is never lost on us as a government.
