Nigeria-Niger Joint Commission Discusses University Accreditation
The Nigeria-Niger Joint Commission (NNJC) recently visited Niger’s Minister of Higher Education, Professor Mamad Saidou, to address the accreditation of private universities in Niger. The commission submitted a comprehensive list of fully accredited institutions, which is essential for ensuring that academic certifications are recognized both within and outside Niger.
This list was compiled by the national agency responsible for quality assurance in higher education, which is the sole authority for evaluating and accrediting institutions in Niger. Ambassador Musa S.
Mamman, the Secretary General of the NNJC, emphasized the importance of this accreditation process, particularly for the validity of academic certifications. The NNJC, established in 1971, aims to strengthen bilateral relations between Nigeria and Niger, focusing on various sectors, including education.
The meeting underscored the need for proper accreditation to promote cross-border academic collaboration and maintain the integrity of educational standards.
