The
National Universities Commission has handed down a hard knock on degrees
obtained online from any institution outside the country, saying henceforth
such certificates would not be recognized as a means of seeking employment or
doing other legitimate business in Nigeria.
The
commission’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Mr. Ibrahim Usman
Yakasai, made the announcement during a press briefing on Thursday evening in
Abuja
The commission also
slammed Maryam Abacha American University, in Niger Republic, saying it has
been inundated with enquiries from some Nigerian students who had been offered
admission into the university.
“We wish to restate that
as the only quality assurance agency for universities in Nigeria, the NUC is
maintaining its stand that degrees from Maryam Abacha University will not be
accepted in Nigeria”, the commission stated.
The NUC therefore warned
citizens against patronising online universities which offer academic
programmes without physical contact with their students.
He
said,
“Nigeria will not recognise online degrees. Online degrees are not accepted in Nigeria at the moment; the Nigerian constitution does not even give recognition to such degrees. Those who ran out of Nigeria for study outside this country are those looking for cheaper degrees. It is either they cannot pass the examinations or they do not possess the minimum entry qualifications.”
