Enroling in a university enables you to take advantage of opportunities in the workplace.<\/p>\n

However, selecting an unaccredited university can make it difficult\u00a0for you to get a good job on graduation. Because an unaccredited university means that the National Universities Commission has not certified your institution fit to provide tertiary education.<\/p>\n

To save yourself the stress of convincing your potential employer that you\u2019re good enough even when the name of the university on your certificate puts a question mark to that, you can check our list of accredited universities by the NUC.<\/p>\n
