The Nigerian government has released a list of at least 37
illegal universities operating in the country.
Chris Maiyaki, the Acting Secretary of the National
Universities Commission, NUC, disclosed this during an interview on Channels
Television on Wednesday.
According to him, arrests have been made in conjunction with
security operatives.
Maiyaki stressed that the Department of State Services was
involved in the clampdown on illegal institutions.
The NUC secretary 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 under two months and was deployed for the National Youth Service
Corps, NYSC.
Consequently, the federal government blacklisted 18 universities
from Benin Republic and Togo.
Also, the government on Wednesday hinted at plans to extend
sanctions on universities from Uganda, Kenya, Niger Republic and other African
countries.
