ICPC, NUC move against Illegal Degree Schools, Sexual Harassment in Tertiary Institutions
ICPC has said that it would begin clamping down on illegal degree awarding institutions as well as tackle the problem of sexual harassment in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
The plan to tackle the problem of fake degrees and sexual harassment was reached with the management of the National Universities Commission (NUC) during a courtesy visit to ICPC’s headquarters, Abuja, recently.
Executive Secretary of NUC, Professor Abubakar Rashid Adamu, who led the delegation to ICPC lamented that schools that award higher degrees within six months and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in less than one year had become common in Nigeria.
He also said that NUC had found institutions where academic projects and thesis were on sale for N3000 per copy, adding that another disturbing scenario was the influx of graduates with fake degrees from foreign institutions into the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
Professor Adamu also revealed that fake institutions from Benin Republic and Uganda were now recruiting students from Nigeria.
