FG Sacks Graduates From Benin Republic Universities

The Federal Government has begun issuing termination letters to employees who obtained degrees from universities in Benin Republic. This follows recommendations from an inter-ministerial investigative committee chaired by Prof. Jubrila Amin, initiated by former Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, to probe reports of degree mills in Benin Republic and other neighboring countries.

Prof. Mamman expressed concern over the findings, emphasizing the Ministry’s commitment to sanitizing the education sector and upholding its integrity. He decried the prevalence of fake certificates, which undermine the credibility of the system and disadvantage genuine graduates seeking employment.
