Nigerians react as FG sacks graduates from Benin Rep varsities

@zad_va

Nothing sad about it, it does not meet our educational standards, 8 months' degree no be degree

@iam_paulash

How is FG making it look like everyone that graduated from Benin got a fake certificate

@okaforndubest

Because it is unrecognized university I think

@JUDETWENTYONE

It's a clear example of "One bad apple spoil the rest"

@Yabergi

You call people who spent 3 months aquire a scandalous degree graduates?

@Mr__Femi

Those Benin certs are mostly bought. If you want to buy cert without going to school, that's where you'll get it. I'm not accusing anybody, I'm just saying.

@bondieugen

It's actually a welcome development

Nigerians parading fake certificates from Benin, Togo universities

Legit.ng earlier reported that 22, 500 Nigerians were accused of using fake certificates from Benin Republic and Togo to secure job opportunities in government and private organizations.

The former minister of education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, said only five Universities in Benin and three in Togo were accredited to offer degree programmes. Mamman added that investigations also revealed that many Nigerians with fake certificates never attended the school physically.

He confirmed that a circular was being prepared from the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation that would enable them to fish out the people for due prosecution.
