Minister of education Tahir Mamman has named the eight universities accredited to award degrees to Nigerians in Togo and Benin Republic.
This comes after his revelation that over 22,500 Nigerians obtained fake degree certificates from the two countries, and such certificates would be rendered invalid.
Mamman spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.
The minister said the Federal Government only recognised three institutions in Togo and five in Benin Republic.
Those approved to award degrees in Togo, he said, are Universite De Lome, Universite De Kara and Catholic University of West Africa.
Mamman also listed five accredited universities authorised to provide degree programmes in the Republic of Benin for students from Nigeria.
They are Universite D’abomey-Calavi, Universite De Parakou, Universite Nationale Des Sciences, Technologis Ingenierie Et Mathematiques, Universite Nationale D’ Agriculture and Universite Africaine De Devlopment Cooperatif.
