The House of Representatives has resolved to probe certain officials from Federal Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies accused of engaging in certificate fraud with Nigerian students.
The decision came after a motion was put forward during Wednesday’s session in the House by Abubakar Fulata, the representative of Birniwa/Guri/Kiri-Kasamma Federal Constituency in Jigawa State.
Recall that a Nigerian reporter, Umar Audu had, in December 2022, bagged a degree from a university in Cotonou, Benin Republic, in six weeks and subsequently participated in the mandatory National Youth Service Corps scheme.
Audu subsequently accused unnamed officials of the Ministry of Education as members of the racketeering syndicate; a development that elicited widespread criticisms by well-meaning Nigerians.
Leading the debate on the motion, Fulata called on the House to “identify officials of MDAs and students who benefited from such institutions and their campuses in the last ten years.”
