The National Universities Commission (NUC), the body set up to regulate Universities in Nigeria recently publicized the list of illegal Universities operating in Nigeria without the license from the Federal Government.
We republish this list here to make all Nigerians to be aware of the Universities that are not approved, as any students that obtain any degree certificate from them wouldn’t be recognized for the purposes of NYSC, employment, and further studies. These Universities have been closed down for violating the Education (National Minimum Standards etc) Act CAP E3 Law of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, and they have been reported to the relevant LAW enforcement agencies for their further necessary action.
