The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) has accorded full accreditation to the Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering courses of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA).
Registrar of the Council, Kamila Maliki, said in a letter to the university that this followed the reaccreditation visitation by COREN to the university’s undergraduate engineering programme in April.
Maliki, an engineer, said in a statement by the university’s Deputy Registrar (Information and Publications) Waziri Garba that the interim accreditation status of the two courses took effect from April 20 and is valid for five years.
The COREN Registrar, however, warned in the letter dated August 2, that there would be random visits to the university within the period of validity to check on the state of facilities.
He added that the accreditation would be withdrawn if there was any evidence of failing standard.
“I therefore strongly advise for strict compliance with the recommendations highlighted”, Maliki said, stressing that this is “to ensure that the standards are not only maintained but improved upon”.
The other courses of the Faculty of Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Civil Engineering, attained full accreditation status last year.
