On Tuesday, January 2, 2024, the Federal Government, made public the list of 18 foreign Universities in Nigeria it has suspended from evaluation and accreditation of degree certificates.

The Universities, all from the Republic of Benin and Togo were suspended following a scandal which erupted over a number of fake University degrees awarded by them.

The Government, in a statement from the Ministry of Education, also, warned Nigerians to avoid patronising the institutions.

The decision followed an undercover investigation by a Nigerian newspaper, which unravelled the scandalous activity of a University in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

The investigative reporter was awarded a degree from the Cotonou University within six weeks. Worse, he was cleared, and participated in the  National Youth Service Corps even though he had participated in the programme in 2018.
