The Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Education Tahir Mamman on Tuesday plans to set up an inter-ministerial committee to combat the activities of degree mills.
The ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Ben Goong, made this known in a notice sent to journalists in Abuja.
The activities of degree mills came in light of discussions, following an investigative report by a reporter, Umar Audu, on the activities of degree mills in Benin Republic and Togo
The report which exposed the illegalities perpetrated by some tertiary institutions in the West African states led to the Nigerian government placing a ban on the accreditation and evaluation of degrees from Benin Republic and Togo.
Mamman later said the Federal Government would further extend its searchlight to institutions in other African countries such as Ghana.
