Following the suspension of accreditation and evaluation of degree certificates from Benin Republic and Togo, the Federal Government has said sanction would be extended to more countries like Uganda, Kenya and Niger Republic.

“We are not going to stop at just Benin and Togo,” the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.

“We are going to extend the dragnet to countries like Uganda, Kenya, even Niger here where such institutions have been set up,” he said.

An undercover journalist with Daily Nigeria newspaper had detailed how he acquired a degree from a university in Benin Republic under two months and in fact, deployed for the National Youth Service Corps.

The Federal Government had immediately suspended accreditation of certificates from the two francophone West African nations and launched a probe which the minister said should submit its report in three months.

Mamman said students who patronise such institutions were not victims but criminals.

“I have no sympathy for such people. Instead, they are part of the criminal chain that should be arrested,” the minister said on Wednesday.

He added that security agents would go after those with fake certificates from foreign countries already using them to secure opportunities in Nigeria.

On the issue of student loan, the minister said, “The President has given his word that it will be operational from this quarter and the committee is working very hard to ensure that the president’s word is implemented.”

I like the way this government is taking this issue seriously.

If it was Buhari's tenure, nobody would even notice this scandal. Buhari was always shocked, surprised or didn't even know what was happening around him.

Dude was clueless and incompetent and still appointed people like him to run the government. I don't think anyone can be as bad as he was.

check those politician most of them dont have a certificate at all, while the ones that claimed to have is short term certificate like say na direct short service

They should withdraw the recognition of Chicago State University (CSU) also

Apt.
A thorough investigation is needed honestly. So this can dissociate those who genuinely got their cert from same countries

Amu gi

My advise for those schooling abroad is to verify and look before they opt for it.
Govt should find solution to strike

Mariam Abacha might lose one source of her income if these people become to aggressive.

Just carry your fake degree to another country that recognize it).

Adieu l'Afrique

Reciprocity?

I hope they pursue the investigation into individuals who obtained certifications from courses and universities they never actually attended.

Hmm

And recognized those that presented GCE Special Center Result to INEC after lying and boasting on social media that they attended Havard University, studied market to market technology and even went as far as using Peter Odili name to lie that they used to play football together in the university when Odili came out to debunked his lie

Keep deceiving yourself. Even the president bought his own certificate, bought the electoral commission, bought the supreme court and you think he's better than Buhari

Extend it to USA, narrow the search down to. Illinois. Drop the hammer in Chicago.

Sudan Universities are worst than Universities in Benin Republic ,FG should extend the ban to Sudan Universities.

Make dem no try am reach Kenya, as long the Kenya's university commission approve the University and the University is not running mushroom campuses in Nigeria, I see no reason to focus on Kenya.

Make dem look at Sudanese universities whey plenty (especially Northerners) whey not fit pass JAMB for Nigeria are being sponsored by their state governments to go study there.

This is going too far, the result will only sabotage the diplomacy relationship between Nigeria and these African countries.
