The House of Representatives has absolved the Republic of Togo of involvement in the fake certificate scandal that recently hit Nigeria’s education sector, confirming its institutions’ integrity after diplomatic reviews.
Attention is now on the Republic of Benin, where a syndicate allegedly issues fraudulent degrees. The House Committee on Public Petitions has summoned the Ministry of Education for further clarification, especially on its directive mandating pre-qualification exams for foreign degree holders.
A new hearing on the matter is scheduled for July 10, 2025, as lawmakers seek answers following last year’s investigative report that uncovered a thriving certificate racketeering network in Benin.
