    Executive Secretary of the Commission, Abubakar Rasheed says that all the illegal and fake universities in Nigeria award certificates, making the matter worse.

    He revealed that the NUC is addressing the situation headlong to discourage the illegality and ensure that reputation of tertiary education in the county is not compromised or damaged.

    The commission said the universities are yet to be licensed by the federal government and have been shut down for violating the national minimum standard for education.

    “The commission is taking concrete steps through inter-agencies collaboration to tackle the untoward development headlong, especially by mass sensitisation of unsuspecting patrons through periodic publication list of such ‘Degree Mills’.”

    The commission said the relevant law enforcement agencies have been informed for necessary action.

    Meanwhile, the NUC Director of information and Public relation, Ibrahim Yakasai, says the commission has not relented in its effort to shut every illegal institution in the country

    According to Mr Yakasai, “we continued publishing the lists so that the illegal universities don’t resurface. If we stop publishing their names, they could move to other part of the country and start operating because at some point, they were moving.

      My worry is the allowing institutions declared illegal to still operate only to put up a CAVEAT for public notice.

      Inefficient and poor legal implementation system in Nigeria.

      How is it possible for there to be fake universities? Do think any sane person will go to the extent of laying out capitally intensive infrastructure to promote a fake university?
