FULL LIST: Varsities in Benin Republic, Togo likely affected by FG’s evaluation

There is apprehension among Nigerians who acquired their degree certificates in Benin Republic and Togo respectively.

This is coming after the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman disclosed on Friday, August 23, while giving his first year ministerial scorecard, that over 22,500 Nigerians are obtained fake certificates from Universities in Benin Republic and Togo between 2019 and 2023.

Mamman said that over 21,600 people obtained the certificates from unaccredited universities in Benin Republic within the mentioned period while about 1,105 obtained theirs at some unaccredited Universities in Togo.

He also said that anybody who attended a university solely run in English from 2017, is wasting his time because it’s not an approved university. That is their policy.

He revealed that the Federal Government has authorised the termination of employees in the public and private sectors who possess counterfeit degree certificates.

“So in the final analysis, what the federal government approved is that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, will issue a circular to all employers, whether public or private, to fish out anybody with a certificate from these institutions—that circular probably would have been out by now.

“And the Head of Service, has also been mandated to fish out from the public service anybody who is parading certificate from these institutions.

“So this is the decision of the federal government on this matter,” he said.

The Ministry had on Tuesday, January 3, announced the suspension of accreditation of degree certificates from 46 Benin Republic and Togo.
