Mountain Top University has recorded another academic milestone as its Department of Nursing Science secured full accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC), the regulatory body for university education in Nigeria.

The Department of Nursing Science, established in 2024 as one of the departments in the College of Allied Health Sciences has, within a remarkably short period, demonstrated outstanding compliance with national academic standards and professional requirements.

As part of the accreditation assessment process, a high-powered evaluation team from the NUC visited the University in January 2026 to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the programme. The team meticulously reviewed critical components of the department, including the adequacy of teaching and learning resources, laboratory facilities, library holdings, curriculum content, and classroom infrastructure. The exercise was designed to ascertain the department’s readiness to deliver quality education and produce competent healthcare professionals capable of meeting Nigeria’s healthcare needs and global standards.

The outcome of the rigorous evaluation was formally released in May 2026, with the Department of Nursing Science earning full accreditation status, an endorsement that affirms the programme’s academic integrity, institutional capacity, and commitment to excellence in all ramifications.

Reacting to the development, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Elijah Ayolabi, described the achievement as a testament to the University’s unwavering pursuit of excellence. He expressed deep appreciation to the Chancellor, Dr D. K. Olukoya, a Professor of Biotechnology and General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Worldwide, for his visionary leadership and steadfast support.

Professor Ayolabi also commended the Governing Council, management, faculty, and the entire university community for their collective dedication, resilience, and commitment to maintaining high academic and moral standards.

With this national affirmation, Mountain Top University continues to strengthen its reputation as a rapidly emerging centre of excellence, committed to producing highly skilled, ethically grounded, and industry-ready graduates who can contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s healthcare sector and the global community.

Congratulations to the university community on this great achievement!
