List Of Universities That May Be Affected As FG Orders Probe Of Private Universities In Nigeria

The Federal Government has inaugurated a committee to scrutinize the activities of private universities established in Nigeria in the last 15 years.

This announcement was made by the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, on Tuesday.

The primary focus of this committee will be to evaluate whether these private institutions have adhered to the required standards, including the presence of prescribed facilities, an adequate management structure, and sufficient funding for their programs.

The move comes amid growing concerns about the quality and legitimacy of education some of these institutions provide following the investigative report which uncovered a fake certificate syndicate from Benin Republic and Togo being patronized by some Nigerians and the subsequent order by the government to suspend the evaluation and accreditation of results from the countries.
