Abstract\\r\\nThis study assesses the accreditation process at Kashim Ibrahim Library, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, focusing on accreditation types, statuses, and challenges. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing structured questionnaires administered to 12 librarians across the university’s satellite libraries that had previously undergone accreditation. The study identifies three primary accreditation types: program accreditation (33.3%), resource verification (33.3%), and institutional accreditation (33.3%). Accreditation outcomes show that 47.8% of programs received full accreditation, 34.8% were granted interim status, while 17.4% were denied due to non-compliance with accreditation requirements. Findings highlight key challenges affecting accreditation, including lack of current resources (27.8%), inadequate funding (22.2%), frequent power supply disruptions (25%), and limited technical expertise among satellite librarians (13.9%). Additionally, 22.5% of accreditation exercises relied on borrowing resources from individual staff members rather than institutional acquisition, raising concerns about the sustainability of accreditation readiness. Furthermore, delays in fund release (17.5%) and insufficient manpower (14.3%) were identified as critical obstacles to meeting accreditation standards. The study recommends proactive measures such as regular mock accreditation exercises to identify and address deficiencies before official evaluations. Additionally, the university administration should prioritize timely funding allocation to support resource acquisition and infrastructure improvements. Capacity-building programs should also be implemented to enhance the technical skills of librarians, ensuring they can effectively manage accreditation requirements. Addressing these challenges will enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of the accreditation process in the university’s libraries.\\r\\n
