Hours after suspending accreditation of degree certificates from Benin Republic, Togo, FG set to extend sanction to Uganda, Kenya, others

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

“We are not going to stop at just Benin and Togo,” Education Minister 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. We will not stop at the suspension of certificates from Togo and Benin Republic alone.

We are going to extend the suspension to other countries where such institutions operate.

It would be recalled that an undercover journalist had detailed how he acquired a degree from a university in Benin Republic under two months and in fact, deployed for NYSC.
