The Federal Government has constituted an eight-man inter-ministerial committee to probe some institutions amid worries by its latest discovery of illegal degrees from foreign universities.
Inaugurating the committee in Abuja on Tuesday, the Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, disclosed that the probe will also extend to private universities in Nigeria.
The Minister tasked them to do their job diligently without fear or favour.
Daily Post reported that the committee is headed by Professor J.D. Amin, the Chairman of the BOT Committee of Vice Chancellors, and has Dr. Chris Maiyaki, the acting Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission, NUC, as member.
Other members of the committee include Ambassador Lazarus Kpasaba from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Abel Olanrewaju and Omeh Nwokpoku, both of the Office of the National Security Adviser; Amina Lugga from the Federal Ministry of Youth Development; Mrs. Doom Iyortyom, a representative from JAMB; and a representative from the Federal Ministry of Justice.
