The approval was conveyed in a letter dated 15 July 2026 following the successful validation of the proposed Distance Learning Institute by an NUC panel that visited the University from 14 to 16 April 2026.

According to the Commission, the Institute has been approved to begin operations with the Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme only. The programme will be delivered through the ICT-enabled supported blended learning mode under the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system.

The NUC also directed the University to ensure full compliance with all guidelines governing distance learning programmes in Nigerian universities and to implement the recommendations contained in the panel’s Technical Report.

The Commission further stated that a post-validation assessment exercise will be conducted after one year of operation as part of its quality assurance process. It added that any additional programmes will be subject to separate assessment and approval by the Commission before they can commence.
