The National Universities Commission {NUC} has Dissociated itself from any degrees obtained online from any institution outside Nigeria. The Commission's director of Info said, in no uncertain terms, that henceforth such certificates would not be recognised as a means of seeking employment or doing other legitimate business in Nigeria.
The commission’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Mr. Ibrahim Usman Yakasai, according to punchng.com, made the announcement during a press briefing on Thursday evening in Abuja, against the backdrop of some foreign universities which place advertisements and admit students from Nigeria.
The commission also warmed Nigerian to stop patronizing Maryam Abacha American University, in Niger Republic, saying it is not recognized nor granted operating licence and that it has been inundated with enquiries from some Nigerian students who had been offered admission into the university.
In his words;... “We wish to restate that as the only quality assurance agency for universities in Nigeria, the NUC is maintaining its stand that degrees from Maryam Abacha University will not be accepted in Nigeria”, the commission stated.
The NUC which also discredited all part- time cross boarder education in Nigeria, therefore warned citizens against patronising online universities which offer academic programmes without physical contact with their students, punchng.com reports.
