NUC Maintains Moratorium on New Private Universities in Nigeria - Update on Triplestar University Registration
The National Universities Commission (NUC) Executive Secretary, Professor Abdullahi Yusufu Ribadu, reaffirmed the one-year moratorium on new private universities in Nigeria, effective since February 10, 2025. This policy aims to review guidelines for establishing universities and address educational challenges.
The NUC emphasized that the moratorium applies specifically to private universities, distinct from the recent suspension of new federal tertiary institutions. Ribadu assured the Association of Brotherhood Academic Students (ABAS) delegation that the moratorium would be lifted upon formal application submission for the registration process of Triplestar University in Cross River State.
He urged ABAS members to promote harmony and discourage vices like drug abuse and cultism among students.
