accreditation status to the University of Uyo (UNIUYO), pharmacy
programme.
In a letter signed by the Deputy Executive Secretary of the Commission,
Professor C. F. Mafiana, on behalf of the Executive Secretary; the
programme was granted accreditation for a five-year period.
According to the result of the accreditation process, UNIUYO scored a
total of 78.8 per cent in the areas of academic contents, staffing,
