The National Universities Commission (NUC) has released a list of over 37 universities operating illegally in Nigeria.
Acting Secretary of the Commission, Chris Maiyaki, disclosed this on Wednesday. He added that the Commission has made some arrests in this regard.
Maiyaki said that the Department of State Services (DSS) was involved in the clampdown on illegal institutions.
The NUC secretary urged parents to check the Commission’s website for illegal and legal varsities in Nigeria so that their wards don’t fall victim to these institutions.
Maiyaki’s statements followed the suspension of degree certificates from two francophone West African countries after an undercover journalist detailed how he acquired a degree from a university in Benin Republic within two months and in fact, deployed for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Nigeria.
