 Nigerian Government Confirms Dismissal of Workers with Benin Republic, Togo Degrees


The Federal Government has confirmed the dismissal of civil servants holding degrees from unaccredited private tertiary institutions in Benin Republic and Togo.


The affected workers are those who graduated from these institutions between 2017 and the present. Segun Imohiosen, spokesperson for the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, confirmed the development on Wednesday.


This action is part of the government's ongoing efforts to cleanse the civil service of fraudulent practices. Earlier this year, the Federal Government declared that only eight universities in Benin Republic and Togo are authorized to award degrees to Nigerians.


This move follows an investigative report in which a journalist from Daily Nigerian, Umar Audu, obtained a degree from a university in Benin Republic within two months, and subsequently used it to participate in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program.


As a result, the Nigerian government banned the accreditation and evaluation of degrees from institutions in these countries, and set up an interministerial committee to investigate certificate fraud.


Former Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, revealed that more than 22,500 Nigerians had obtained fake degrees from these institutions, which would be revoked.


In response, several ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), including the NYSC, have started implementing the directive. Caroline Embu, NYSC Director of Information, confirmed that five staff members were dismissed under the new policy.


This follows concerns raised by former Nigerian Senator Shehu Sani in November 2024 about the ongoing dismissal of workers with degrees from unverified institutions in Benin Republic and Togo.
