LEAD City University, Ibadan, has described the pronouncement of the National Universities Commission (NUC), suspending its licence, as an attempt to discredit the institution.

In a reaction, the Director of Corporate Affairs of the institution, Dr Ayoba-mi Owolabi, said there was no justification for the suspension, as all its courses, except Biochemistry, had full accreditation.

Owolabi, who urged members of the public to disregard the pronouncement, said “we, at Lead City University, discountenance in its entirety, the pronouncement of NUC suspending our operational licence.

“It is a calculated attempt to discredit the university now that we are all scampering for candidates for admission.

“All our courses are fully accredited and they will not be due for another round of accreditation until 2014. The only course not accredited,

Biochemistry, is due for accreditation in October this year and the NUC has communicated to us on that.”

The spokesman of the institution, who disclosed that the university held its post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Thursday, urged the NUC not to disturb its academic programmes.
He said the institution believed in the rule of law and had petitioned the National Assembly over the matter.

There is justification to withdraw any private uni licence, especially those selling firstclass e.g covenant university, they shld withdraw its licence too.

why go to the national assembly when you can go to court? i smell a rat here

Hehehe dis Lead city sha get issues sha. Olorun nikan lo le ko yin yo o....

NUC can give you life in the form of accreditation but NUC can not withdraw same,is it logical? Anyone who is aggrieved can go to court,not national assembly. Most of these private schools except those that are owned by the mega churches will find it difficult to meet the requirement set by NUC in term of facilities,since they are profit making.

why national assembly nau? is only court that has the mandate to interprete and law so go to court national assembly are powerless at this stage.

That bigfat f.o.o.l is also mad.

I agree! NUC shoud NOT have suspended Lead City's Licence!!!

Suspending such type of university at that stage is politically concerned.

You see why d license should be revoked and d uni administrators flogged..going to d senate? They don't even know d ideal place to take their case to. I hope they don't teach Law in that school o.

mr man...have you heard of arbitration before?? for your information...d court is the last resort for d common man...ok? so before resorting to court, you can explore other alternatives...d senate simply needs to checkmate d excesses of the NUC because they av bin doing this reckless BULLYING for quite sometym now..dats why in their wisdom, LEAD CITY has decided to approach the SENATE....so pls...its not evrytym one shud post before thinking...don't take dis personal

According to the authorities of Lead uni. the school has all but one program accredited, so what could be their offense? I know there r tons of public schs running more unaccredited programs than Lead university.

U don't av to highlight ur ignorance 4 d whole world now leme school u a bit. Arbitration is a method of settling dispute by referring it to an independent body(arbitrator) "both parties having agreed beforehand to abide by its decision"... So digest wats in quotes n see why d senate is not an arbitrator here. U cn choose to crucify me but I won't dignify u with a further response.

actually..i didnt put a paragraph cos i felt u wud be wise enof to know the implication of "..." in a sentence. who said the senate is an arbitrator, i only needed u to know dat d court isnt d only alternative to dispute resolution...anyway,to put u n track, senate isnt that bad an arbitrator becos by ur quote "both parties having agreed to abide by its decision", let me tutor u, d NUC has no right to refute against d decision of d senate...ask NYSC and they will tell u..and also, mind u, even in real arbitration scenerios, d parties are still at liberty to go to court if they feel not satisfied afterwards..so wise up...if u not ready to use ur brains...d apes wud appreciate to av it.cheers

Leadcity has more accredited courses than RUN and some other ones. If its because of unaccredited courses,then other school's licenses including state and federal schools should be suspended as well.

Accreditation is not the only issue mentioned. Examination and its administration are part of the issues. Many of these universities do not conduct fair exams in their schools.

WHATZ WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY

hey guys instead of WASTING time in nigerian schools why dont you go a step further?? the USA..

contrary to public opininon that it is difficult to attend, all you have to do is plan early and your dream would become a realitY in addition to snagging a scholarship. i am a living testimony!!!
ALL it takes is PLANNING!!! checkit out www.justjanded.com

it is absolutely free

Musiwa2: correct process is for the NUC to invite the VC of this universities and also invite the CEO of banks or rep central bank to a meeting. You help the universities to get loan. or if the NUC have the money you give it to them. The role of NUC is to make for a better universities system and not destroy the system.

Not suspend them. You can issue warning Or suspend program. Not their licence.

My brother Musiwa2, I can see your great love for Leads and the pictures you posted. I do not wish to join issues with you, but as a staff of NUC, I feel a deep sense of responsibility to put the record straight. What makes a university thick is not only about structures, neither is it PR on social media. NUC is interested in improving access to university education while assuring on quality in the Nigerian University System and cannot just suspend Leads license just on personal vendetta or the like, considering the teaming Nigerian youths who go through pains to secure admission. The management of Leads knows the problem (quality). You showed pictures of buildings but failed to show us pictures of the labs, libraries, academic staff/student distribution and how many professors they have. I advise they go to court and not National Assembly. Cheers

I now see why wizkid chose music over leadcity. . .if only they could change the name of the school to CRUDEOIL city or GOLDCITY NUC would surely let them be and almost all MAULAG students would start seeking admission there
