A statement from the Federal Ministry of Education explains that the suspension is coming on the heels of a recent publication online of how an undercover reporter bagged a degree at a Cotonou university in 6 weeks and participated in the NYSC scheme.

It says the Federal Ministry of Education vehemently decries such acts and has commenced internal administrative processes to determine the culpability or otherwise of her staff for which appropriate Public Service Rules will be applied.

The statement assures Nigerians and the general public of putting in place mechanisms to sanitise the education sector.
