The Nigerian University of Technology and Management (NUTM) is pleased to announce that it has been granted official university licence along with the accreditation of several undergraduate degree courses by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at a meeting held on 15th May 2023.

The rigorous national licencing and accreditation process assures NUTM’s quality and accountability and positions the institution to continue to deliver industry led curriculums and attract top-tier faculty and best-in-class students. This approval also strengthens NUTM’s ability to forge strategic partnerships with leading national and international institutions and donors as well as corporate industry, in the institution’s drive to contribute to Nigeria and Africa’s development.
“We are incredibly proud of this milestone and grateful to the National Universities Commission for recognizing our commitment to excellence in education, and for their support”, said Dr. Babs Omotowa – Founding President of NUTM.
Also commenting on the landmark achievement, Chairman of the NUTM Governing Board, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah stated that “NUTM is poised to become the premier STEM institution in Nigeria that will prepare young people to become change agents in Nigeria and beyond”.
