The Nigerian Academy of Science has accused some of the officials of the National Universities Commission, especially those who conduct accreditation in the nations’ universities of collecting bribes.
The NAS also accused the commission of allowing government’s interference in carrying out accreditation of courses in carrying out accreditation of courses in universities.
Calling on the commission to engage only people with integrity in carrying out accreditation, he stressed the need for a change of attitude by academics in the country.
The NAS President, who also lamented the use of an archaic benchmark by the commission in its accreditation operations, warned that Nigerian universities would continue to produce unemployable graduates if the trend was not reviewed.
