NIGERIA: Fake universities grow to 51
25.09.2011
According to the National Universities Commission, the number of fake universities operating in Nigeria has risen from 44 to 51, writes Martin Paul for The Moment.
According to the weekly news bulletin of the NUC, eight of the universities had been taken to court while some are currently being investigated. Executive Secretary of the commission, Julius Okojie, told The Moment that the universities were shut for lack of minimum academic standards and for violating the Universities Act of 2004.
He warned that no certificate received from any of the institutions would be recognised for employment or otherwise. "We do not call them degree-awarding institutions, we call them degree mills and we have been warning the public against patronising them because whoever does that, does it at his or her own risk."
