Why some universities do not offer every course
Not every Nigerian university offers every JAMB-listed course. Universities are either comprehensive, covering most disciplines, or specialised, focusing on a narrower range such as technology, agriculture or theology.
The National Universities Commission accredits each programme separately, and the absence of a course in an institution's catalogue usually reflects either the institution's strategic focus or the fact that the NUC has not yet approved that specific programme for the institution. FUOtuoke's current catalogue is shaped by the institution's strategic focus and the programmes the NUC has accredited so far which is why Cooperative and Rural Development sits outside the FUOtuoke undergraduate offer.
