Undercover Journalist, Umar Audu
Certificate for Sale: Nigeria toughens, bans 18 foreign schools
Eighteen foreign higher institutions operating in Nigeria are at the receiving end as an undercover journalist allegedly busts a Benin Republic university that sells certificates to bibbers.
The reporter told Nigerian TV channel that the certificate of a supposedly four-year course from Cole Superieure de Gestion et de Technologies, ESGT was delivered to him like a pizza in 6 weeks after he paid N600,000 -Six hundred Thousand Naira, an amount that is less than 600 USD.
Audu also revealed that he never left the country’s shores during the investigation and got the certificates at a very affordable price.
The reporter scaled all hurdles and used the same fake university certificate to enlist in the compulsory one-year National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, program.
Nigeria has suspended accreditation of certificates from universities in Benin Republic and Togo.
