Well am also facing same issues with the authentication of my Benin Republic certificate..but I think the best way out is to visit the ministry of Education in Benin

Yemponpin:
I actually got admitted by University of Alabama in USA with my Benin Republic certificate and I did not even have a first class. Study abroad most times, depends on how you package your application regardless of where you studied.

My only issue now is authentication. Normally, if one wants to study abroad and you have your degree from Nigeria, you have to firstly authenticate at the ministry of Education in Abuja. But since I studied in Benin, that means I will go back to Benin to do it.

But I am not sure of the process, if anyone has insight. Please kindly help.
