Nigerian Government Releases List Of Over 37 Illegal Universities In Nigeria

Sharing is caring

The Nigerian government has released a list of at least 37 illegal universities operating in the country.

Acting Secretary of the National Universities Commission, NUC, Chris Maiyaki, who said this, said that some arrests have been made.

Maiyaki stressed that the Department of State Services was involved in the clampdown on illegal institutions.

He therefore urged parents to check the commission’s website for illegal and legal varsities in Nigeria so that their wards don’t fail victims of fraud.

The NUC statement comes following the suspension of degree certificates from two francophone West African countries after an undercover journalist detailed how he acquired a degree from a university in Benin Republic less than two months and was deployed for the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC.

Consequently, the federal government blacklisted universities from Benin Republic, Togo, Uganda, Kenya and Niger Republic
