In a brief remark, the Director-General of GTEC, Prof Mohammed Salifu indicated that the objectives of the exercise were to engage the University on its operations, which encompasses administrative, academic, research, and community engagements as well as appraise its strategies to ensure growth and continuous improvements.

Institutional Review is carried out every five years on autonomous tertiary education institutions by GTEC and this is the first time Central University is being reviewed comprehensively since it received Presidential Charter to award its own qualifications in 2016.
