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’.”

“For the avoidance of doubt, anybody who patronises or obtains any certificate from any of these illegal, fake universities in Nigeria does so at his or her own risk,” the publication reads.
According to the publication, certificates obtained from these fake universities in Nigeria will not be recognised for the purposes of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), employment and further studies.
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.

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?
Ok oooo…. I have relayed out NUC warning. . Nigeria is a banana republic and anything can happen in such ridiculous clans
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.
