NUC (National University Commission) got the right to create the minimum academic standards since the 1980s. At first, this organization collaborated with higher educational institutions to come up with the set of rules, and such documents were officially approved back in 1989. They were called MAS or minimum academic standards. Later, NUC understood how important it was to revise MAS because of all the changes and new data added to courses and disciplines studied by students all across the country. This idea helped developing benchmark standards that are the outcome- and not content-based. It’s a common practice for many countries worldwide, including Nigeria.
