Background and Approval Process
- A team of experts conducted a review of MOUAU’s academic staff and learning facilities.
- Their findings confirmed that the university met all necessary standards.
- Following the review, the NUC Executive Secretary granted final approval.
- The approval letter was issued by Abubakar M. Girei, Acting Director of Academic Planning.
Why Were These Courses Previously Removed?
- In 2016, the Federal Government directed MOUAU to discontinue non-agriculture-related programmes.
- As a result, these five management courses were removed.
- However, the university later argued that these programmes support agriculture by helping farmers manage finances, markets, and business planning.
What Happens Next?
- The reinstated courses will be open for admission starting in the 2024/2025 session.
- Prospective students can now apply for these programmes.
This marks a significant step in expanding academic opportunities at MOUAU while maintaining its agricultural focus.
