FG Orders Dismissal Of 22,500 Employees With University Certificates From Benin, Togo

In a bold step to protect the sanctity of education and maintain the integrity of the workforce, the Federal Government has initiated a comprehensive review of degree certificates obtained from universities in the Republics of Benin and Togo.

This move aims to identify and address the rising concern of counterfeit qualifications that have infiltrated both the public and private sectors.

The government’s decisive action is a clear indication of its commitment to upholding the value of authentic academic achievements and ensuring that individuals who have worked hard to earn their qualifications are not undermined by those who have taken shortcuts.
