Monrovia – The National Commission on Higher Education (NCHE) has announced the temporary lifting of the suspension earlier imposed on AVEEM University College, allowing the institution to resume academic and administrative operations under strict provisional supervision.
In a communication dated September 16, 2025, and signed by NCHE Executive Director, Prof. Edward Lama Wonkeryor, the Commission said the decision followed a recent reassessment exercise and review of AVEEM’s compliance with key recommendations issued after deficiencies were earlier flagged.
According to the NCHE, AVEEM demonstrated improvements in addressing those shortcomings, prompting the Commission to grant a temporary reprieve. However, Prof. Wonkeryor cautioned that the lifting of the suspension is conditional and contingent on continued adherence to NCHE’s standards and the timely implementation of all remaining recommendations.
“The Commission will maintain periodic monitoring of AVEEM University College to ensure sustained compliance,” Prof. Wonkeryor emphasized, noting that a final determination on full reinstatement will follow the next comprehensive evaluation.
The NCHE urged the institution’s administration to remain committed to upholding quality assurance in higher education delivery in Liberia.
