In a move by the FG to sanitize the Educational sector, No fewer than 100 fake professors have been uncovered in Nigerian universities by the National Universities Commission, NUC.

Prof Abubakar Rasheed, the commission’s Executive Secretary, disclosed this in the NUC’s November bulletin.

Rasheed said the NUC published the details of the fake professors on its website and also sent the names to the various universities for verification.

“The updated version of those documents will be published by December 2019 and professors in their respective universities uploaded their CV on the website which was used in the compilation of the directory. About 100 fake professors also uploaded their details but we detected them.

“This measure helped in identifying fake professors in the system. The fight against fake professors is a collective responsibility,” he said.

Rasheed informed the vice-chancellors of a recent meeting held with the Director-General, National Youth Service Corps, Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, where the latter complained that some corps members’ degree certificates purportedly obtained from some prestigious universities were questionable.

He directed that VCs should check the excesses of their affiliated institutions, noting that universities must spearhead the fight against academic corruption which must be tackled by all stakeholders.
