The National Universities Commission (NUC) has unveiled the identities of the illegal “universities” with known addresses operating in the country. The commission disclosed this yesterday at the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) headquarters during a joint press conference on the activities of the operators of the illegal “universities” across the country.

According to a release signed by the NUC deputy director (legal), Moses Awe, and made available to LEADERSHIP, 41 illegal universities have so far been identified with fixed addresses and have been published on NUC website.

Meanwhile, the ICPC also disclosed at the briefing that it had commenced a nationwide joint operation with security operatives, beginning yesterday, to close down the premises of the 41 identified illegal “universities”, with the aim of seizing their properties, making arrest of operators and prosecuting the culprits.
The culprits were allegedly either using a fake name or illegally operating a satellite campus in the name ofan approved and known institution.

Why won't we have illegal universities when certificates and not skills are all we want to see in nigeria. We have insuffient spaces in the existing universities and everybody wants to earn to earn a degree. To put a stop to this, let govt make the polytechnic certificate attractive so that those who cannot go into the universities can also go to the polytechnic and earn a degree in technology.

LikE seriously we still need more universities, its the inadequacy that gives these quack space to operate.

shey people sef dey go that kain place??

first class lunacy.

is it now that they know those ilegal universities operate.what would be the fate of graduates there..the nuc should be blame for allowing them fool the public all these while.

NUC needs dem to come and buy licenses .. That's all
