According to a statement from the board, the digitalisation policy has recorded success, with a substantial increase in institutions and stakeholders engaging with the digital system, now totaling 489.
“The board has now fully transitioned to a digital platform for all quality assurance processes. Effective August 2024, there will be no more physical accreditation or other quality assurance activities in the institutions under the board’s purview,” said Fatima Abubakar, Head of Media Unit.
