ABE UK Gets Approval From NUC To Run Programmes In Nigeria
The National University Commission, NUC, has endorsed the ABE UK to run its programmes in Nigeria, as Market Space gets formal accreditation by the institution to provide tuition for ABE UK Marketing Management Levels 5 and 6.
Speaking at a press conference, the Regional Manager, West Africa ABE United Kingdom Education Institute, Mr. Anthony Atagamen, said:‘’I am happy to tell you that two weeks ago, the delegations of the NUC was at ABE headquarters in London where we signed a Memorandum of Understanding to recognise ABE.”
He explained that what ABE is hoping and aiming to do is that before the end of 2016, it will be able to get a sense of recognition from the NUC, so that students who finish the level 5 and level 6 can go on to do their NYSC.
“If the Federal Ministry of Education is saying, yes that the ABE level 4 is equivalent to an Ordinary National Diploma, OND, definitely, level 5 and level 6 of ABE are equivalent to Higher National Diploma,HND, after which you can do your NYSC,’’ he said.
Atagamen who disclosed that ABE is also in talk with the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, noted that the management of the institution met with TUC’s President and Vice towards the last quarters of last 2015 to get their support. ‘’We are at the verge of tighten up the relationship with the TUC,’’ he said.
He, however, pointed out that ABE is not just about academics, but also professional adding, ‘’You can either decide to get a degree with your ABE qualification or go to the market and work. That is why the TUC is also coming on-board.’’
Explaining further, the Head of Centre, Market Space Limited, Mrs Edith Keshi-Robinson said that apart from offering the Marketing Management Levels 5 and 6 which are equivalent to Nigerian HND and BS.c, the institution also offers Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Management Level 5 Diploma programs at Market Space Lagos Training Centre.
