The Capital City University (CCU) in Kano has reached a major milestone in its journey to becoming a prominent private university in Nigeria. The National Universities Commission (NUC) has officially granted the institution a full operational license, enabling it to function as a fully-fledged private university. This comes after an impressive assessment conducted by the NUC panel during a recent visitation.


Transition from Provisional to Full License

Capital City University, which began operations in 2021, had initially been operating under a provisional license issued by the NUC. Following the NUC’s comprehensive evaluation of the university’s infrastructure and procedures, CCU has now been awarded a full operational license. This change signifies the university’s compliance with the NUC’s stringent requirements for private universities.

In a statement issued by the university’s registrar, Hajiya Rakiya Bello Dangado, the NUC panel commended the quality of CCU’s facilities and operational standards. “This outcome is a product of commitment to excellence by the governing council, management, and staff of the institution who have been working collectively to create a niche for the university,” the statement noted.


Commitment to Educational Excellence

Located in the heart of Kano City, Capital City University has quickly established itself as a forward-thinking institution committed to providing world-class education. The university’s vision extends beyond Kano, with a focus on enhancing Nigeria’s higher education sector and addressing global educational challenges.

CCU is continually working to improve its infrastructure and adapt to the changing needs of tertiary education. The university’s mission is clear: to reshape the educational landscape by offering high-quality learning experiences that align with societal demands.

According to the official statement, “The university… is committed to changing the face of education in Kano, Nigeria, and the entire world by continuously improving its infrastructure to meet the ever-changing tertiary educational needs of society.”


Acknowledgment of Stakeholders’ Contributions

In his congratulatory message, Vice Chancellor Professor Yusuf Daraja expressed gratitude to the university’s stakeholders, including students, staff, and the governing council, for their invaluable contributions to the institution’s success. He highlighted that this achievement is a significant step forward for CCU, especially as it has been accomplished within just a few years of its establishment.

The granting of a full operational license by the NUC marks a pivotal moment in Capital City University’s journey, positioning it as a key player in Nigeria’s private higher education sector.


Looking Forward: The Future of CCU

As Capital City University continues to grow, it is poised to make further contributions to the academic and socio-economic development of Kano and the broader Nigerian society.
