International University Degrees Received Via Online Education Not Recognized in Nigeria - NUC
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has discredited all degrees obtained online from any institution outside the country, “will not recognise online degrees. Online degrees are not accepted in Nigeria at the moment; the Nigerian constitution does not even give recognition to such degrees.
The commission’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Mr. Ibrahim Usman Yakasai, made the announcement during a press briefing on Thursday evening in Abuja.
He also said;
Nigeria will not recognise online degrees. Online degrees are not accepted in Nigeria at the moment; the Nigerian constitution does not even give recognition to such degrees. Those who ran out of Nigeria for study outside this country are those looking for cheaper degrees. It is either they cannot pass the examinations or they do not possess the minimum entry qualifications.The Commission also warned that degrees obtained from Maryam Abacha American University of Niger Republic (MAAUN) are sub-standard and will not be accepted in Nigeria.
What is the fate of those who are waist deep in such institutions or are graduands of this institutions?
