Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado Ekiti, will admit students into six newly approved academic programmes from the 2027/2028 academic session following clearance from the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The approval, conveyed in a letter dated October 22, 2026, brings additional courses in theology, transport management, security, information technology, mathematics and criminology to the university's academic offerings.
A statement issued on Friday by Adedoyin A.A., on behalf of the university’s Head of Information and Corporate Affairs, listed the programmes as BA Christian Theology, BSc Transport Management, BSc Security and Investment Management, BSc Information and Communication Technology, BSc Industrial Mathematics and BSc Criminology.
The letter was signed by the NUC Acting Director of Academic Planning, Dr Ayuba Mohammed, on behalf of the commission’s Executive Secretary.
The university said the approval followed a resource verification exercise by panels of experts who assessed its human and material resources to ensure compliance with national academic standards.
“This milestone reflects the university’s unwavering commitment to expanding educational frontiers and addressing the evolving needs of society and industry,” the statement said.
However, the NUC stipulated that the programmes must not be offered on a part-time basis and that their approved names must be retained.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Babatola Ayodele, described the approval as a significant step towards realising the institution’s vision of academic excellence and innovation.
Ayodele also commended Ekiti State Governor and visitor to the university, Biodun Oyebanji, for supporting efforts to strengthen the institution’s academic standards and global relevance.
