THE Federal Government has delisted 18 foreign universities from operating in Nigeria, following its suspension of evaluation and accreditation of degree certificates from the Republic of Benin and Togo, warning Nigerians to avoid enrolling in such institutions.
The government, through the National Universities Commission (NUC), based its decision on an undercover investigation conducted by a Nigerian journalist, which unravelled the activity of a degree mill in Cotonou, Republic of Benin.
The NUC on its website, listed the foreign universities delisted as:
