Following the suspension of evaluation and accreditation of degree certificates from Togo and the Benin Republic by the Federal Ministry of Education, the ministry on Tuesday came out with a list of some foreign universities that are not recognized by the Nigerian government.
The ministry also warned Nigerians against enrolling in such institutions as their credentials will not be recognized.
Recall that on Tuesday the Federal Ministry of Education declared that the Republic of Benin and Togo’s degree credentials would no longer be evaluated or accredited in Nigeria due to the discovery of the operation of a degree mill in Cotonou, the capital of the Benin Republic.
