Certificates Ban: NANS woos FG for over 15,000 Nigerians studying in Benin Rep.

No fewer than 15,000 Nigerians studying in Benin Republic would be seriously affected with the federal government’s ban on certificates acquired for the country.

However, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Benin Republic has appealed for leniency over the ban on validation of degree certificates from the country and Togo.

He said NANS in the Benin Republic had constituted a committee to probe the matter, adding that the report of its findings would be vital in curbing future occurrences.

“For now, I will say that the Federal Government should look into the issue. Now, you can’t, because it is happening in this school, punish everyone because it involved close to 15,000 students in the Benin Republic.

“I have really not validated if it has been happening for a long time. This is just like what just came out on social media and we are still trying to find out how long it has been happening. So, that is why I set up a committee as the president to investigate it,” he said.
