Full List Of Blacklisted Foreign Universities In Nigeria

On Tuesday, the Federal Ministry of Education, acting on behalf of the Federal Government, declared the suspension of the evaluation and accreditation process for degree certificates obtained from the Republic of Benin and Togo. This decision comes in the wake of an undercover investigation conducted by a Nigerian newspaper, revealing the operation of a degree mill in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

The investigative report exposed the dubious activities of the Cotonou University, where a journalist obtained a degree within six weeks and actively participated in the mandatory one-year scheme organized by the National Youth Service Corps.

In response to this revelation, the Federal Ministry of Education has taken swift action to halt the evaluation and accreditation of degrees from these countries. The National Universities Commission (NUC) has compiled a list of foreign universities, including those from Benin and Togo, that are now banned.

The NUC emphasized the need for caution, urging Nigerians to refrain from enrolling in institutions listed on this ban. The move aims to safeguard the credibility and integrity of educational qualifications, signaling the government’s commitment to combatting fraudulent practices in the certification process.

This suspension underscores the significance of thorough scrutiny in accrediting foreign degrees and reinforces the government’s commitment to maintaining high educational standards.

The commission also warned Nigerians to avoid enrolling in such institutions.
