dedicated channel of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initiative is one of the recommendations made by a committee set up by the Federal Government to combat fake degree mills or racketeers in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the Federal Government set up an Inter-Ministerial Investigative Committee on Degree Certificate Milling to probe the activities of certificate racketeers following an investigative report published by Daily Nigerian which exposed the activities of fake degree mills in the Benin Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Daily Nigerian reporter Umar Audu revealed how he obtained a degree within six weeks and even proceeded to embark on mandatory youth service under the National Youth Service Corps scheme back in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The investigative report, which exposed the illegalities perpetrated by some tertiary institutions in the West African countries, led to the Nigerian government placing a ban on the accreditation and evaluation of degrees from Benin Republic and Togo.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, having received the report of the committee, noted that holders of fake degrees from Nigerian and foreign universities will be flushed out of the system.<\/p>\n<p>In a memo addressed to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on July 15, 2024, the education ministry said, \u201cYou may recall that following the publication of allegations of certificate racketeering involving some foreign institutions, especially in Cotonou, Benin Republic, and other countries, the ministry constituted an inter-ministerial committee to investigate the allegations to find lasting solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe committee has submitted its report and the Honourable Minister of Education has approved its recommendations for implementation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn that regard, I hereby convey the request of the honourable minister for the implementation of the following recommendations of the committee:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnforce the mandatory requirement for all tertiary institutions in Nigeria to exclusively conduct their admissions processes through the Central Admissions Processing System under the auspices of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board; mandate all tertiary institutions in Nigeria to regularly submit their matriculation lists to the Federal Ministry of Education not later than three months after matriculation ceremonies through the dedicated channel of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are kindly requested to implement the above recommendations and furnish the ministry with implementation updates.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government said, must be submitted through the dedicated channel of
