THE Federal Government has banned and suspended more universities from Ghana, UK and US operating campuses in Nigeria.

This move followed the Federal Government’s suspension of accreditation and evaluation of degree certificates from Benin Republic and Togo after an investigative report by Daily Nigerian Newspaper titled “How Daily Nigerian reporter bagged Cotonou varsity degree in 6 weeks”.
