The Federal Government cancels all 2026 admissions into the National Teachers’ Institute (NTI), Kaduna, for its National Certificate in Education (NCE) and related degree programmes. The Ministry of Education says the decision follows regulatory breaches, and it directs NTI to stop degree-awarding arrangements and discontinue university affiliations tied to those programmes.
Outlets report that the ministry instructs it will not process further admissions for full-time, part-time and Distance Learning Studies (DLS) into the affected NCE and degree offerings. The ministry also warns prospective students, parents and the public not to seek admissions, accept offers, or make payments for the discontinued programmes.
Several outlets add that the directive follows ministerial operational guidelines issued on 12 September 2025 and points to compliance issues around admission processing, accreditations and affiliations. The National Universities Commission (NUC) is mentioned as being asked to notify affected universities to comply. Coverage is largely consistent across outlets, with differences mainly in how much detail each includes about existing students and accreditation steps.
