The following criteria determines whether a school certificate is recognized in Nigeria:

1. Registration status with the country's (Beninese) education ministry and regulatory commission

2. Standard of the curriculum.

3. Recognition of the school's courses by the country's (Beninese) professional bodies (engineering,economists,medical,etc)

4. No of years it was in operation

The first two criteria are the most important. When u submit a new certificate to NYSC for service callup, it would write to the school administration requesting info on its registration status and curricula. NYSC then writes the country's (Beninese) education ministry for confirmation. In most situations NYSC forwards the curricula for comments from NUC and professional bodies in Nigeria. If the curricula meets Nigerian standards and the school is confirmed as genuine then the certificate is granted recognition and the graduate accepted for NYSC.

Pertaining to the acceptance for employment. Most employers usually insist on NYSC certificates because they know only students from accredited courses/institutions are allowed to serve. This implies getting a job wont be much of a problem if she gets to serve.

To resolve ur problem i would advice u personally check the registration status of the school with the education ministry (in Cotonou) and also compare the school curricula with, maybe UNILAG, and see if there is a 90% parity/similarity or more. If any of the two checks fail, quit the school.
