Officials from the London Academy Business School and University of Sunderland are currently seeking approval from the National Universities Commission to run degree programmes in Nigeria.
A delegation from the University of Sunderland, led by Dr. Derek Watson, confirmed this after a meeting held in Abuja with the acting Executive Secretary, NUC, Chris Maiyaki, according to a statement released on Thursday.
Watson, an associate professor from the faculty of business law and tourism, assured that students in Nigeria would have the same academic standards as their counterparts in the United Kingdom, while the management, at the same time, promised to respect the environment and guidelines from the NUC.
He said, “The meeting with the executive secretary was very productive. The University of Sunderland has over 30 years of experience.
