FG to arrest and prosecute fake degree holders
The Federal Government has said security agencies will go after individuals with fake university certificates in the country.
Education Minister Tahir Mamman disclosed this at an event in Abuja on Tuesday, April 2.
The minister said for proper planning to be done in the sector, particularly from a basic level, it has become imperative to build a reliable and authentic database that would promote skills acquisition and development and reduce to the nearest minimum, the number of out-of-school children.
Earlier in January, the minister had said security agents would go after Nigerians with fake certificates from foreign countries already using them to secure opportunities in the country.
“I have no sympathy for such people. Instead, they are part of the criminal chain that should be arrested,” the minister had said.
The minister had also said the Federal Government would suspend degree certificates from more countries like Uganda, Kenya & the Niger Republic.
