He explained that the NUC evaluated the institution’s processes, students and staff before deciding whether to grant it a permanent licence or withdraw its existing approval.
According to him, universities placed on probation must undergo the assessment process, after which those that meet the required standards receive full operational licences, while those that fail may not be approved to continue operating.
Ribadu noted that not all institutions assessed during the process passed the evaluation.
Cosmopolitan University was among 37 private universities licensed under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
