The Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Abdulkareem Sabo Mohammed disclosed this to Radio Nigeria in Dutse, the Jigawa state capital.
According to him, the approval contained in a letter addressed to the Vice-Chancellor by the Executive Secretary, NUC, through the commission’s Director of Accreditation says the accreditation is valid for five years.
