FG ACCREDITS ONLY 8 UNIVERSITIES IN TOGO, BENIN REPUBLIC FOR NIGERIAN STUDENTS

 


The Federal Government has revealed that only eight universities in Togo and Benin Republic are accredited to award degrees to Nigerian students. 

Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, made this known on Channels Television's Sunday Politics program.

According to Mamman, the decision follows an investigation into degree certificate racketeering, which found that over 22,500 Nigerians obtained fake degree certificates from universities in the two countries. The affected certificates will be cancelled.

The accredited universities in Togo are:

1. Universite De Lome

2. Universite De Kara

3. Catholic University of West Africa


In Benin Republic, the accredited universities are:

1. Universite D’abomey-Calavi

2. Universite De Parakou

3. Universite Nationale Des Sciences, Technologis Ingenierie Et Mathematiques

4. Universite Nationale D’ Agriculture

5. Universite Africaine De Development Cooperatif


Mamman emphasized that the Federal Government will not reverse its decision to cancel the fake certificates, as they tarnish Nigeria's image.
