NUC tackles ASUU, says it lied on the alleged imposition of new curriculum on universities

The National Universities Commission {NUC}has reacted to a claim by the Academic Staff Union of Universities {ASUU} that the Core Curriculum Minimum Academic Standards {CCMAS} was developed and imposed on universities in the country.

According to the NUC, ASUU did not state the truth when it claimed its action was an usurpation of the university Senate, explaining that it involved universities, both public and private and even subject area experts across Nigerian universities in coming up with the new curriculum.

The Commission further stated that there was no basis for the attack on its process of coordinating the review of the curriculum of Nigerian universities.
