AN OPEN LETTER TO THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, AKURE (FUTA) @FUTAkure
RE: URGENT NEED FOR INSTITUTIONAL ACTION ON SURCON ACCREDITATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SURVEYING AND GEOINFORMATICS
Dear Ma
We write as students and recent graduates of the Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, FUTA, to raise a concern that directly threatens our professional future and, respectfully, to ask what the University is doing about it.
Since May 2025, the NUC circular (Ref: NUC/ES/138/Vol.65/202) has left SURCON's accreditation role for Surveying and Geoinformatics programmes nationwide in dispute. We understand this affects institutions across the country. What concerns us most is that some universities appear to have found a way to keep pursuing or maintaining SURCON accreditation for their surveying programmes regardless of the standoff, while FUTA's position on this remains unclear to the students it directly affects.
If other institutions are able to protect their students' path to SURCON registration despite the NUC-SURCON dispute, we respectfully ask why FUTA — with one of the country's most established Surveying and Geoinformatics departments — has not communicated a similar effort, or clarified what steps, if any, are being taken on our behalf.
Ma, this is not a small administrative matter to us. It is the difference between a degree that opens a clear path to professional registration and one that leaves us stuck indefinitely, regardless of our results or effort in the field. Students currently enrolled, and graduates from as recently as last year, are equally affected and equally in the dark.
We respectfully request:
1. A clear statement from the University on the current accreditation status of the Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics with respect to SURCON;
2. Information on what engagement, if any, the University has had with SURCON or NUC on this matter since May 2025;
3. Clarification on whether FUTA is pursuing the same accreditation pathway that other institutions appear to have secured, and if not, why not;
4. A commitment to communicate updates directly to affected students and alumni as this situation develops.
FUTA has built a strong reputation in Surveying and Geoinformatics over the years. We are asking the University to protect that reputation, and our futures along with it, by taking visible, active steps rather than leaving students to navigate this uncertainty alone.
We hope for a prompt response and a clear path forward.
Respectfully,
Concerned Students and Alumni, Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, FUTA
