NUC is a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Education (FME) charged with the responsibility of advising the Government on the financial needs of the universities, handle the planning of a balanced and coordinated development of University Education in Nigeria.

The National Universities Commission is a government Commission for promoting quality higher education situated in Abuja and established in 1962 as an advisory agency in the cabinet office. It became a statutory body in 1974. NUC is the government regulatory agency to accredit Universities (Public & Private) and academic programmes”.

“MIU’s mission is to establish a world-class tertiary institution for the intellectual and manpower development of human resources for sustainable socio-economic development nationally, regionally and internationally.

The university will be committed to allowing all qualified candidates at home and from abroad based on merit and equity, through a work-study methodology and without any sectarian or racial discrimination”.

“Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Nigeria pioneered Muslim missionary education in Nigeria that was established in 1916 with the opening of the first Muslim primary school, Talim-ul-Islam Primary School Elegbata in 1921 at Lagos Island, inaugurated by the late Mr. Henry Carr, the then Colonial Education officer for the Lagos Colony.

“Thereafter, the floodgates of Islamic and Western education for teeming Nigerian Muslim children across gender, race, and religion commenced, thereby laying a good educational foundation. The Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Nigeria’s first venture into secondary education followed in the 1950s and 1970s across the country with a special programme called “The Nusrat Jehan Scheme”.
