President Bola Tinubu’s federal government has actually identified Nigerians who acquired phony certificates from foreign organizations as lawbreakers, pledging to flush them out of the system.
Minister of education, Tahir Mamman, in an interview with Channels television on Wednesday, divulged this in the wake of an examination by Daily Nigeria exposing how Benin Republic University offered a degree certificate to its undercover press reporter who never ever went to the school.
Scolding Nigerians parading phony certificates from foreign universities, Mr Mamman stated, “trainees who patronise foreign organizations to acquire degrees are not victims. They are crooks. I have no compassion for such individuals. Rather, they belong to the criminal chain that must be apprehended.”
Asked what Mr Tinubu’s federal government will do to Nigerians with phony foreign certificates operating in federal government organizations, Mr Mamman stated, “If, along the line, we can trace that there are individuals currently in the system. If a specific organization or operator has actually been running, state, in the last 10 years, we will inspect if we can get records of Nigerians who went to that organization.
“Once we do that, they are bad guys and you understand there is no timeframe to criminality. We will trace them. As long as we can lay our hands on their organizations and they are right here with us, definitely, the security firms will pursue them due to the fact that they are crooks, Mr Mamman stated.
In reaction to Daily Nigerian’s examination, the federal government has actually suspended accreditation of certificates from 2 francophone universities.
Mr Mamman stated, “we are not going to stop at simply Benin and Togo. We are going to extend the dragnet to nations like Uganda, Kenya, even Niger here where such organizations have actually been established.”
The risk to apprehend and eliminate Nigerians with phony certificates from foreign universities by Mr Mamman comes in spite of sticking around debates on Mr Tinubu’s Chicago State University certificate.
The Supreme Court turned down fresh proof on Mr Tinubu’s certificate forgery scandal to verify his electoral success, the problems have actually continued to generate responses from Nigerians.
