Nigerian govt suspends accreditation of certificates from Benin Republic, Togo

The Federal Government, on Tuesday, announced the suspension of accreditation and evaluation of degree certificates from Benin Republic and Togo.

The suspension followed a report detailing how a degree was acquired from a university in Benin Republic in under two months.

“This report lends credence to suspicions that some Nigerians deploy nefarious means and unconscionable methods to get a Degree with the end objective of getting graduate job opportunities for which they are not qualified,” the spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, Augustina Obilor-Duru said in a Tuesday statement.
