All 49 academic programmes presented by Emmanuel Alayande University of Education in Oyo have received accreditation from the National Universities Commission, with 43 earning full status and six granted interim accreditation following the October/November 2025 exercise.

Vice Chancellor Olanrewaju Olaniyan confirmed the outcome, describing it as a reflection of the institution's commitment to academic excellence and adherence to national standards. "We presented 49 programmes for accreditation, and all of them were successfully accredited. Forty three programmes have full accreditation, while six have interim accreditation," he stated.

Olaniyan noted that the University, which commenced academic activities on 9 August 2023, has recorded significant growth, with students already at the 300 level and a total enrolment of 8,679 across its programmes.

Programmes awarded full accreditation span disciplines including Accounting, English Language and Literary Studies, Computer Science, Economics, Political Science, Social Work, and a range of education courses covering Educational Management, Guidance and Counselling, Library and Information Science, Mathematics Education, Physics Education, and Yoruba Education.

Biology Education, Chemistry Education, Human Kinetics, Special Education, Biology, and Chemistry were among the programmes granted interim accreditation, indicating areas requiring improvement before the next review.

In a letter addressed to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as Visitor to the university, the NUC stated that the exercise was conducted in line with its statutory mandate to ensure compliance with minimum academic standards. The commission noted that full accreditation holds for five years, while interim accreditation lasts two years before reassessment.

The NUC warned that programmes denied accreditation would face an immediate ban on student admissions, with certificates issued after such a ban going unrecognised. It also cautioned that graduates from unaccredited programmes risk being denied mobilisation for the National Youth Service Corps.

The commission urged the state government to address identified deficiencies and sustain the standards achieved across the institution's programmes.
