Because it is unrecognized university I think @JUDETWENTYONE It’s a clear example of “One bad apple spoil the rest” @Yabergi
You call people who spent 3 months acquire a scandalous degree graduates? @Mr__Femi Those Benin certs are mostly bought.
If you want to buy cert without going to school, that’s where you’ll get it. I’m not accusing anybody, I’m just saying. @bondieugen It’s actually a welcome development.
tIt is reported that 22, 500 Nigerians were accused of using fake certificates from Benin Republic and Togo to secure job opportunities in government and private organizations.
The former minister of education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, said only five Universities in Benin and three in Togo were accredited to offer degree programmes.
Mamman added that investigations also revealed that many Nigerians with fake certificates never attended the school physically.
He confirmed that a circular was being prepared from the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation that would enable them to fish out the people for due prosecution.
