At a recent meeting organised by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in collaboration with COL, Professor Abdullahi Yusufu Ribadu, Executive Secretary, NUC, emphasised the role of micro-credentials in expanding access to education, supporting skills development and strengthening links between higher education and the world of work.
