NACUS is a specialized monotechnic powered by the National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO), under the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy. It is structured to offer Diploma and Postgraduate Diploma programmes, with full accreditation and curriculum approval already secured from the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).
