The Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Education has set up a committee to examine activities of private universities established in the last 15years.

Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, yesterday said this will show if the private institutions under investigation have prescribed facilities, adequate management structure, and adequate funding of programmes among others.

He also noted that the inter-ministerial committee will also examine, “the veracity of the allegations of degree certificate racketeering within both foreign and local private universities in Nigeria.”
