IMAGINE!!!!

National University Commission, NUC, has announced that no fewer than 36 private universities operate illegally in Nigeria.
Executive Secretary of NUC Prof. Julius Okojie announced this Wednesday while briefing the media on the commission’s Data Base Project in Abuja.

He said "the universities have not been licensed by the Federal Government and are therefore operating illegally in violation of National Minimum Standards Act CAP E3 Law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 2004," hinting that certificates obtained from those sources would not be recognized for the purposes of National Youth Service Corps, employment and further studies.
He listed some of these universities to include North Central University Oturkpo, Blacksmith University, Awka, Atlanta University Ayingba, Royal University Izhia, University of Industry, Yaba and Leadway University, Ughelli among others.

Prof. Okonji therefore warned that anyone who patronized or obtained certificates from those institutions did so at his own risk, while disclosing that NUC was collaborating with security operatives to apprehend the culprits. He added that enough evidence should be gathered before charging them to court.

He lamented that the proprietors of these universities were amorphous in nature as they kept moving from one city to another when threatened.
