Recall that the federal government in August, announced that only eight universities had been accredited to award degrees to Nigerians in Togo and Benin Republic.

Some civil servants with degrees from private tertiary institutions in Benin Republic and Togo have been sacked by the Federal government.

The sack was confirmed by the Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosent, on Wednesday.

He noted that the directive affects federal workers who graduated from the institutions from 2017 to date.

Recall that the federal government in August, announced that only eight universities had been accredited to award degrees to Nigerians in Togo and Benin Republic.

This came after an undercover investigation report in which a Daily Nigerian journalist acquired a degree from a university in Benin Republic in two months and used it to participate in the National Youth Service Corps scheme.

Following the report, the government banned the accreditation and evaluation of degrees from tertiary institutions in Benin Republic and Togo.
