If you are schooling in a private
University in the Republic of Benin, your certificate may not be accepted in
Nigeria as FG blacklists 52 Universities.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has
insisted that it won't accept certificates from non-accredited 52 universities
from the Republic of Benin.
The Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewaon
Thursday, May 10, 2018, announced the government stance about Nigerian
undergraduates studying substandard Universities in neighbouring countries.
Dabiri-Erewa said the National Universities Commission,
NUC, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, and the Ministry of
Education had to blacklist some of these schools to save the innocent students.
“Most of these institutions that Nigerian
students attend in our neighbouring countries are sub-standard, we have better
standard private universities in Nigeria than those schools.
“That is why National Universities Commission
(NUC) Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the Ministry of
Education had to blacklist some of these schools to save the innocent
students''.
On Tuesday, May 8, 2018, Pulse reported
that the SSA raised an alarm that thousands of Nigerian students had their fate
trapped in about 52 non-accredited universities in neighbouring countries.
She said that most of the private
schools in the neighbouring countries, especially Benin Republic,with Nigerians as their main
students, were sub-standard.
In a statement by her Media Aide, Abdur-Rahman Balogun on Tuesday, May 8, 2018, the SSA
warned Nigerian parents against sending their children to foreign universities
where containers are used as classrooms.
The statement reads in part:
“Most of these institutions that Nigerian
students attend in our neighbouring countries are sub-standard, we have better
standard private universities in Nigeria than those schools.
“That is why National Universities Commission,
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and the Ministry of Education had to
blacklist some of these schools to save the innocent students.
“Nigerian students are being exploited in most
of these countries. There is a particular country we went to that a university
is being run in the portal cabin right inside a market.”
Dabiri-Erewa, therefore, said that
Nigeria would not accept certificates from such schools for the National Youth
Service Scheme because students who failed in Nigeria run to those schools for
admission. – Pulse.NG
