Yemi Solade reacts as FG declares certificates from Benin Republic universities, Togo fake
  • Yemi Solade has shared his two cents regarding the Benin republic school certificate saga.
  • The FG had on Friday declared certificates from Benin republic and Togo between 2019 and 2023 invalid.
  • Yemi Solade asked if Nigerian celebrities who got their doctorates from there would also be affected.

Nollywood actor, Yemi Solade has taken to his Instagram page to pose a question about doctorate degrees bestowed on Nigerian celebs by universities in Benin Republic and Togo.

This comes after the Benin republic certificate saga.

Recall that the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, recently disclosed that 22,789 Nigerians were parading fake degree certificates obtained from Benin Republic and Togo between 2019 and 2023. He said:

 “We have had to take some major decisions here (at the ministry of education). Some staff members who were affected faced disciplinary measures. That whole unit had to undergo a review.  We cannot have in our midst people who procured fake certificates competing with students who graduated from universities and polytechnics through their sweat, some spending four, five, six or more years.

They cannot be going out to compete with people who procured certificates right here in Nigeria without going anywhere. Through the data the NYSC has, about 21,684 students are parading fake certificates from Benin Republic obtained between 2019 to 2023, Togo about 1,105.

They simply attended schools that are not recognised to offer degree programmes by those countries.”

The federal government then announced that all degree certificates from Cotonou University in Benin Republic issued between 2017 to date be rendered invalid.
