NUC Blacklist Shocker: The 58 Fake Universities Operating Illegally in Nigeria – Don't Fall Victim!

 

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has issued a critical public service announcement, unveiling a list of 58 universities and institutions blacklisted for operating illegally across Nigeria. The commission also identified eight other institutions currently undergoing investigation for running illegal degree programs.

This crucial information is intended to protect prospective students and the general public from falling victim to institutions not recognized or licensed to operate by the NUC, the body legally mandated to regulate university education in Nigeria.
