The Federal Ministry of Education announced on Tuesday that 18 foreign universities have been banned in Nigeria.
This decision comes after the federal government suspended the evaluation and accreditation of degree certificates from the Republic of Benin and Togo due to a scandal.
The government has also warned Nigerians to avoid enrolling in these institutions.
The decision was made based on an undercover investigation conducted by a Nigerian newspaper, which exposed the activities of a degree mill in Cotonou, a major city in Benin Republic.
The investigation revealed that a reporter was able to obtain a degree from Cotonou University within six weeks and even participated in the mandatory one-year scheme organized by the National Youth Service Corps.
