HEADLINENEWS.NEWS correspondent reports that The Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government has said it will flush out persons in public and private organisations working with fake certificates.
The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, stated this in Abuja on Friday when he received the report of an inter-ministerial investigative committee on degree certificate milling.
On January 9, the minister inaugurated the committee chaired by Professor Jubrila Amin to examine the veracity of allegations of degree racketeering within foreign and local private universities.
Speaking on the findings of the committee, Mamman said the ministry would work with relevant agencies to sanitise the education sector and rid it of any fake tendencies.
The minister pledged to take decisive measures to ensure standards are maintained in the system.
He said: “We can’t afford to have the integrity of our education soiled by some few persons. It is possible that some are carrying fake certificates in public and private organisations that need to be flushed out.
“The ministry is determined to take steps to sanitise the system. We can’t afford to let down our country when it comes to standards.”
