Ribadu stated that copies of the recognition letter would also be forwarded to relevant bodies, including the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund.
While the university has been granted recognition, Ribadu explained that academic activities would begin only after a resource verification process is completed. He emphasized that the recognition letter did not automatically grant permission to start academic activities.
