Full List: FG announces blacklisted foreign universities in Nigeria

Nigeria’s Federal Government, through the Federal Ministry of Education, announced on Tuesday a list of outlawed foreign universities in Nigeria.

The federal government had announced the suspension and accreditation of degree certificates from the Republic of Benin and Togo amid the scandal. The commission also warned Nigerians to avoid enrolling in such institutions.

According to the investigation, the investigative reporter bagged a degree from Cotonou University within six weeks and participated in the mandatory one-year scheme organised by the National Youth Service Corps.
