The
National Universities Commission, NUC has revealed that she has uncovered about
100 fake professors teaching in Nigerian Universities.
Professor Abubakar Rasheed, NUC’s
Executive Secretary stated this in the November edition of the commission’s
bulletin, obtained by PUNCH Newspaper.
The ES noted that the commission
published the details of the fake professors on its website and also sent the
names to the various universities for verification,. This info was made public at
the 2019 retreat for Vice-Chancellors by the NUC Strategy Advisory Committee.
According
to the NUC boss, “The updated version of those documents will be published by
December 2019 and professors in their respective universities uploaded their CV
on the website which was used in the compilation of the directory. About 100
fake professors also uploaded their details but we detected them.
“This measure helped in identifying fake
professors in the system. The fight against fake professors is a collective
responsibility.”
The Executive Secretary informed the
vice-chancellors of a recent meeting held with the Director-General, National
Youth Service Corps, Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, where the latter complained
that some corps members’ degree certificates purportedly obtained from some
prestigious universities were questionable.
The NUC boss directed that VCs should
check the excesses of their affiliated institutions, noting that universities
must spearhead the fight against academic corruption which must be tackled by
all stakeholders.
