Are they going to close them down or are they just going to warn us?

What will be done?

look at all the funky names they give the universities

london westside university

university of north north columbia etc

i swear recruiter go confuse when em see dem school certificate.

Most private universities started like these ones. With time some of them will compete with Covenant, Babcock, etc

instead of them to sort out the base symptoms they are busy chasing shadows.

the federal government have refused to sort out the endemic problems in the federal universities coupled with that they set unrealistic goals before a private university can be registered due to the law of demand and supply there s bound to be loads of fake private universities cropping up to cope with the high number of potential undergraduates.
for instance some of the rules you have to fulfil before being granted a university license is
1.you have to show them proof of at least 300 hectares of landed property
2.you have to erect at least 10/20 structures on this property this is when professor okojia will now deem it fit to consider your license request
so what if you get rejected after expending at least 100million?
this is the conundrum fuelling these illegal private universities

Let them merge na.

that is not the way it works,the commission in charge have to run a series of interview with whoever is the owner of the proposed university.coupled with this is the fact that how can you aggregate different religious backgrounds,behaviours,mode of doing business,tribal and family affiliations e.t.c what if they start chasing each other around with hired killers due to money disputes hence it is not practicable.
the government of good luck jonathan actually tightened the process of getting the license for private universities in the last year or thereabouts hence the reason for the explosion in fake private unit
the process,the interview in abuja is like applying for an oil block

Blacksmith University Awka,

I pity the student of those 'universities'

If they put EC COUNCIL University, thex might as well add Oracle University.

Individuals own universities these days. They just do business, give certs and make money, after all money is the main aim of setting up the universities.

This is where all the Professors in Ekiti came from. . . .   No surprises here  

Where was the NUC when these Universities started admitting students? Were they sleeping? Did they not see the adverts of the Universities when the started? Are they just warning us about these institutions or just declaring them fake for the sake of press release? What will happen to the students of these institutions?

I guess NUC and the Federal Ministry of Education is guilty of gross neglect of statutory duties, someone should be sacked for this neglect?

As for these owners or administrators of these Universities, your days are numbered and soon you will reap the fruits of setting of a fake and fraudulent institution.

Nearly all Nigerian private unis started up in similar fashion a la Covenant,Babcock,Lead City,Bells,Igbins et al. They survived the NUC onslaught because they were able to "play ball" while the ones who couldn't "play ball" were shut down!
