The President National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Benin Republic Ugochukwu Favour says the ban on validation of degree certificates from Benin and Togo affects 15,000 Nigerians studying in Benin Republic.
Favor spoke Thursday on Channels TV’s breakfast show Sunrise Daily and said the government should consider legitimately admitted students.
He said: “For now, I will say that the Federal Government should look into the issue. Now, you can’t, because it is happening in this school, punish everyone because it involved close to 15,000 students in the Benin Republic.
“I have not validated if it has been happening for a long time. This is just like what just came out on social media and we are still trying to find out how long it has been happening. So, that is why I set up a committee as the president to investigate it”.
Favour said the government should step up efforts to probe the matter and punish those involved in the saga, and explained that NANS in the Benin Republic had constituted a committee to probe the matter.
Recall that an investigative reporter had recently exposed certificate racketeering in schools in the neighboring countries that forced the Nigerian government to place a ban on the validation of degree certificates from the countries.
