As a consequence of this report, the Nigerian government imposed a ban on the accreditation and evaluation of degrees from institutions in Benin Republic and Togo. The National Universities Commission disclosed that 18 out of the 58 universities suspended in Nigeria were foreign-owned, underscoring the need for a comprehensive strategy to curb the proliferation of fake degrees.
