The National Universities Commission (NUC) Resource Assessment team that visited Ajayi Crowther University (ACU), Oyo, has stated that its mission is not to witch-hunt but to offer advice that will help improve the various programmes being assessed.
The panel of resource persons visited the campus on Thursday, 20 August 2026, to assess courses including M.Ed. and PhD in Computer Science Education, M.A. and PhD in Performing Arts, M.A. and PhD in Music, PhD in Law, Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), PhD in Library and Information Science, and Masters in Communication Studies.
Speaking on behalf of the team during their reception at the university, Prof. Felicia Agbo thanked the university’s management for its cooperation and hospitality. She explained that the purpose of the visit was to examine the resources available for the aforementioned programmes and provide professional advice for their improvement.
According to her, “We are not here to witch-hunt but to contribute to improving the programmes through our advice.”
She also commended the university for its conducive and serene environment and appealed for cooperation from various Heads of departments and staff as they carried out their duties.
Addressing the resource verification teams on arrival, the vice chancellor, Prof. Ebunoluwa Oduwole, expressed appreciation to the NUC for its continued contribution to the development of universities in Nigeria. She noted that without the Commission’s regulatory and quality-assurance roles, development within the university system could be slower.
Prof. Oduwole described ACU as an institution committed to raising “Godly Intellectuals” and encouraged the teams to enjoy the serene and conducive ambience of the university.
Following the assessment conducted by the various panels, the team commended ACU for its neat and conducive environment. The assessors also praised the university’s staffing and academic activities, describing them as adequate, while they offered advice and made further recommendations for improvement.
Appreciating the various teams for a thorough job done, the Vice-Chancellor thanked the NUC team of assessors for adding value to the university through its assessments, observations, and recommendations. She assured them that the university places a high priority on good academic standards, as well as the welfare and comfort of its staff.
Prof. Oduwole emphasised ACU’s commitment to providing quality education, maintaining adequate facilities and resources, and continuously improving its academic programmes in line with regulatory requirements.
The visit provided an opportunity for the university to demonstrate its commitment to academic excellence while benefiting from the professional observations and recommendations of the NUC resource verification teams.
