After the National
Universities Commission (NUC) asked Nigerians not to patronize Maryam Abacha
American University of Niger, the university on its website has replied the
commission saying they are only out to black mail them and could be due to
jealousy of the young but fast growing institute. Below is what the university
management also wrote in a memo published on its website. In the memo the
institution said;
“It considers the NUC publication about Maryam Abacha American university of Niger as blackmail and orchestrated campaigns of calumny to smear the reputation of our young but rapidly growing university by some self-seeking corrupt officers of the NUC and their external collaborators jealous of the university.”The management further made the following below clarifications to the public:
1. As a foreign
university, the National Universities commission (NUC) has no jurisdiction or
legal right on the activities of Maryam Abacha American university of Niger.
This is why NUC has not in any way made any visitation to Maryam Abacha
American university of Niger since its inception in 2013. Strangely enough, the
NUC was quick to issue public statement against a university it knows
absolutely nothing about.nursingworldnigeria.com
2. The NUC publication
against Maryam Abacha American university of Niger is an indictment of
international policy as it has violated diplomatic channels of communication
and other relevant diplomatic norms
3. It is on record that
on 7th April, one Ajayi Eunic of the state house medical center, Asokoro Abuja
wrote the NUC to verify the status of Maryam Abacha American university of
Niger with the commission.
In its response ref:
NUC/AS/PRV/VOL.1/105 dated 9th April, 2015, the NUC stated, inter alia “I am to
add that the Republic of Niger is one of the countries that have a bilateral
agreement with Nigeria, therefore, any approval by the republic of Niger is
recognized by Nigeria. The letter was signed by Director, Academic standards,
Dr G. B. Kumo for the executive secretary of NUC. Who then is fooling who and
why should NUC be so desperate to disown degree that have not yet been awarded?
4. Maryam Abacha
American university of Niger has also received a similar letter of recognition
from the federal ministry of education of Nigeria, dated 27th October 2014
through the evaluation and accreditation division/education department.
Maryam Abacha American
University runs undergraduate degrees in core sciences, social sciences and the
arts.
