After Togo and Benin, three other African countries are in Nigeria’s sights. Diplomas from these countries will also soon be suspended.
For the past few days, the suspension of diplomas obtained in Benin and Togo by Nigeria has been causing a stir on the internet. Indeed, this suspension follows an investigation conducted by an undercover Nigerian journalist.
But according to reports from the KOACI media, Mamman Tahir, the Minister of Education, during his appearance on the Channels Television on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, indicated that this sanction will be extended to three other African countries namely: Uganda, Kenya, and Niger. “We will not stop at Benin and Togo… We will extend the net to countries such as Uganda, Kenya, and even Niger, where such institutions have been established,” Minister Mamman declared.
As a reminder, the Nigerian journalist who conducted the investigation claimed to have obtained a journalism degree from a Benin university in less than two months without leaving his own country. He went on to add that the certificate was delivered to him like a pizza after payment. “This certificate will be delivered to you just like you have ordered a pizza or something like that and you give them your location and it will be brought to you. That’s what motivated me to conduct this investigation,” he said on television channels.
