No fewer than eight operators of illegal
universities across the country, which have
been closed, are being prosecuted, the
National Universities Commission (NUC)
says.
The illegal universities were published in
NUC’s weekly bulletin and made available
to the media on Wednesday in Abuja.
The publication, signed by NUC’s Executive
Secretary, Prof. Julius Okojie, listed the
institutions as National University of
Nigeria, Keffi, Nasarawa State and North
Central University, Otukpo, Benue State.
Others are Christ Alive Christian Seminary
and University, Enugu; Richmond Open
University, Arochukwu; Abia State; West
Coast University, Umuahia; and Saint
Clements University, Iyin Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The list also includes Volta University
College, Aba, Abia State as well as the
illegal satellite campuses of Ambrose Alli
University.
In addition to the closure, the following
`Degree Mills’ are currently undergoing
court actions; the purpose of these actions
is to prosecute the proprietors and recover
illegal fees and charges on subscribers.
For the avoidance of doubt, anybody who
patronises or obtains any certificate from
any of these illegal institutions does so at
his or her own risk.
“Certificates obtained from these sources
will not be recognised for the purposes of
NYSC, employment and further studies.’’
The bulletin also listed 55 illegal
universities which had not been licenced
and were closed down for violating the
Education Act of 2004.
NUC recently handed over two alleged fake
professors to the police for prosecution.
