The federal government has made public the 2022 updated list of fake/illegal universities that have been shut down in Nigeria through the National Universities Commission (NUC).
The panel asked the general public to be aware that the universities on the list do not have federal government licenses, especially parents and prospective undergraduates.
The Education (National Minimum Standards etc.) Act CAP E3 Law of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 was violated by the unlawful universities, often known as degree mills, and they were shut down as a result.
