NUC Bars Honorary Doctorate Holders From Using “Dr” Title
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has prohibited recipients of honorary doctorate degrees from using the title “Dr” before their names, The Nation reports.
In its newly released guidelines, the Commission stated that the “Dr” prefix is reserved strictly for holders of earned doctoral degrees and qualified medical practitioners.
It added that recipients of honorary doctorates may only use post nominal designations such as “Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa)” or “D.Sc. (h.c.)” after their names.

It warned that sanctions will be imposed on institutions or individuals who fail to comply with the new rules.
