Sustain ban on certificates from Togo, Benin, NANS tells FG

3 months ago 5

NANS made the call in a statement signed by Clerk of the Senate, NANS National, Abdul-yekinn Odunayo, yesterday, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. The student body explained that the call became imperative because it was aware of clandestine moves by some individuals in the country to pressure the FG into lifting the ban.

Odunayo added that the individuals had been visiting the office of the Minister of Education to sell lies to him and persuade him to rescind the decision on the ban of certificates from mushroom tertiary institutions from the West African countries.

The statement reads: “As an apex students’ body that is concerned about the welfare of our members and delivery of quality education in the country, we are saddened and shocked to see some self-serving and unpatriotic individuals working assiduously to scuttle the government’s moves to sanitise and raise the standards in our education sector, especially at the tertiary level.

“We want to declare unequivocally that reversing the embargo placed on the certificates obtained from the mushroom Togolese and Beninoise tertiary institutions due to the pressure being mounted on the government by these individuals, will hurt our education sector and eventually spell doom for the nation.”
