The Federal Government has named eight universities that have been accredited to issue degrees to Nigerians in Togo and Benin Republic.
Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman made the disclosure as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.
The minister spoke two days after he revealed at a press briefing that over 22,700-degree certificates obtained by Nigerians in some “fake” universities in neighbouring Togo and Benin Republic have been cancelled.
In 2023, a Nigerian journalist, Umar Audu detailed how he obtained a degree from Benin Republic in two months and even got mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme.
