The Nigerian University Unified Database System (NUUDS) represents a groundbreaking online application designed exclusively for universities, facilitating seamless data processing and communication with the National Universities Commission (NUC).
This sophisticated system captures the intricacies of various NUC directorates, encompassing Universities Programme Accreditation, Universities Academic Standards, University System Annual Review Meeting (USARM), Universities Research and Innovation, Finance, and Budget, among others. NUUDS serves as a pivotal platform enabling universities to collect and exchange real-time data with NUC, public entities, and government agencies on student information, staff details, accreditation processes, budgets, enrollment statistics, physical planning and development, academic programs, and the University Geographic Information System (GIS), as well as research and innovations.
