THE Federal Government has suspended the evaluation and accreditation of degree certificates from the Republic of Benin and Togo, respectively.
The Federal Ministry of Education made the announcement on Tuesday.
The Ministry noted that its decision followed an undercover investigation conducted by a Nigerian online platform that exposed the activity of a degree mill in Cotonou.
According to the investigation, the investigative reporter bagged a degree from Cotonou University within six weeks and also participated in the mandatory one-year scheme organised by the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC.
