The statement quoted the publication by the journalist titled “UNDERCOVER: How DAILY NIGERIAN Reporter Bagged Cotonou Varsity Degree in 6 Weeks, Participated in NYSC Scheme” as a precursor to the suspension of accreditation of degree certificates from the two countries.
The Federal Ministry of Education vehemently decries such acts and, with effect from 2nd January 2024, is suspending the evaluation and accreditation of degree certificates from Benin and Togo Republics pending the outcome of an investigation that would involve the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria and the two countries, the ministries responsible for Education in the two countries as well as the Department of State Security Services (DSSS) and the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC).
The Federal Ministry of Education has been contending with the problem, including illegal institutions located abroad or at home preying on unsuspecting, innocent Nigerians and some desperate Nigerians who deliberately patronize such outlets.
The Federal Ministry of Education is committed to collaborating with stakeholders, including civil society organizations, to consistently enhance the Nigerian education system, and we value the public’s understanding and patience as we strive to address these issues.”
