The Federal Government has announced the indefinite suspension of the evaluation and accreditation of degree certificates from Togo and the Republic of Benin.
This decision comes in response to a Daily Nigerian Newspaper report exposing fraudulent acquisition of degrees through illegitimate means.
The investigation involves the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the education ministries of the two countries, the Department of State Services (DSS), and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The Federal Ministry of Education expressed concern about unscrupulous methods used by some individuals to obtain degrees, emphasizing the need for public support to address the issue. Internal administrative processes are initiated to determine the culpability of ministry staff, and the government assures the public of ongoing efforts to sanitize the education sector and uphold global standards for accreditation.
