The National Universities Commission (NUC) is set to re-introduce the Environmental Health Science programme in the Nigerian University System (NUS) in earnest with a successful development of the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards for the programme.
The Executive Secretary of NUC, Prof. Julius Okojie, stated this last Tuesday, during a courtesy visit by the Environmental Health Officers Registration Council of Nigeria (EHORECON), in his office.
Okojie stated that the Commission had identified three selected Universities, namely; Bayero University Kano, Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife and Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, to commence the programme at the initial stage, while other institutions would begin as they satisfied the criteria for the commencement, after a resource verification visit by the NUC.
