The management of Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) has formally addressed a viral post making rounds on social media regarding the accreditation status of its Radiography programme.
The controversy was triggered after the Students’ Union Government (SUG) and a section of Radiography students raised alarms about the future of the programme, causing fears among parents and prospective students. But in a statement signed by the institution’s management and made available to reporters, FUOYE reiterated that Radiography currently enjoys interim accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The management stressed that interim accreditation does not stop students from attending classes, writing examinations, graduating, or advancing their careers. According to the statement, the NUC is expected to revisit the programme in due course to carry out further assessments and, if satisfied, grant full accreditation.
FUOYE management further clarified that professional accreditation for Radiography has not been revoked, but suspended nationwide by the Federal Ministry of Education (FME).
“This directive affects all universities in the country, not just FUOYE. The claims in the viral post regarding licensing and professional examinations are null and void,” the statement read in part.
