That is very good, it will reduce the number of private schools who only want extort money from its students without providing a conducive learning environment. Its a welcome development, it will also be an eye opener to others who have the intention of opening illegal university or other higher institutions

See interesting school names.

What is this country turning in to,

Everyone want to open a uni, in other to rip off ppl

very soon we'll have more unis than students on naija

That is quite commendable.I think NUC should be praises.

Too many people want to open PRIVATE uni's for selfish financial reasons,
At the ends the student dont get jobs cus the course and the schools aint recognised.

Good job u've done Dclique .

yeah ! good job

Good information here. These are just biz centres aggressively looking for customers. I hope NUC will scrap them with immediate alacrity to prevent Nigerians falling into the hands of these bizmen .

Thanks Guys,
They have already shut most of them down

That interests me so much. But NUC should not
compromise its stand on this matter. You see what I fear
most now is BRIBERY and CORRUPTION. These monsters have
turned our dear country to something else. However, BLESSED
are they whose YES is yes and NO, no wether or no back money to
defend truth. They shall not be SICK. Note that: Many legal rules violators
are being paid with SICKNESS that defy monetary resolution. Be warned!!!

Universities everywhere now?

UNIERSITY OF LONDON EXTERNAL SYSTEM IS LEGAL AND NOT UNDER THE CONTROL OF NUC BUT THE BRITISH COUNCIL.HOWEVER MAY BE WHAT THE NUC RELEASED MY BE AN ILLEGAL; OR A CAMPUS NOT AFFILIATED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON BUT ACTING AS A CAMPUS OF SAME.

Men i love this, our government can really work if they want to work. I feel so sorry for those 'students'

u go fair name of schools na

The International University (TIU) , from Missouri is now trying to do big in Dubai. Students from Dubai should watch out. Their degrees are NOT recognised and will do you more harm if you put in your resume.

TIU was accredited by ACI which is considered an Accreditation Mill. ACI does not recognised by Higher Education in US and CHEA. Any institutions accredited ACI is also dubious.

TIU works with local partners in different countries to so called conduct their programs.  But there is really nothing you can get out of it.

gud job DClique very soon people go dey use their palour as uni bedroom.[color=][/color] [color=][/color]
