In the letter, dated December 19, 2023 was addressed to the vice chancellor of the university, the ministry confirmed the authenticity of AIU, which located its two campuses in Niamy and Maradi, Niger Republic.
The letter reads in part, “Please, in reference to your letter Ref. No AIU/PDT/SG/SA/0628 dated November 29, 2023, I am directed to acknowledge receipt of your letter and to inform you that Annahada International University, Maradi, Niger Republic has been confirmed by the Ministry of Higher Education, Republic of Niger in its two campuses at Niamey and Maradi respectively.”
“Consequently, the degree certificates awarded by the university are recognised and accepted for the purposes of participation in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) employment, and promotion as applicable to the certificates awarded by any Nigerian university in a similar field of study.”
“The Evaluation and Accreditation Division of the Ministry is charged with the responsibility of confirming the accreditation status of universities, evaluating both the local and foreign qualifications with a view to determining their Nigerian equivalent for the purpose of employment, admission for further studies and mobilisation for Youth Service Corps Programme.
Speaking about the development, the vice chancellor of the university, Professor Abdulnaseer Haroun, appreciated the Ministry of Education and National Universities Commission (NUC) for confirming the authenticity of the institution and accepting its awarded certificates for employment as well as the mobilisation of its students for service after graduation.
Professor Haroun said the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) had already screened some of the graduates of the institution for the commencement of their service in the next batch.
He charged graduates of the university in Nigeria to use the knowledge acquired from the prestigious university for the development of their country and the African continents, congratulating the entire students for the development.
In 2021, the federal Ministry of Education and National Universities Commission NUC had banned the recognition of the certificate awarded by the university for employment or mobilisation for the NYSC programme based on what they called illegal operation of the Gusau campus, among other allegations against the university.
