Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs
and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, on Thursday, said that the
Nigerian government will not revert its stance on blacklisting
52 non-accredited universities in the Benin Republic.
Mrs Dabiri-Erewa disclosed this when Gbemileke Ogunronbi,
President, National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS,
Benin Republic Chapter paid her a visit in Abuja.
This was contained in a statement by her Media Aide,
Abdur-Rahman Balogun.
According to her, the National Universities Commission,
NUC, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, and
the Ministry of Education had to blacklist some of these
schools to save the innocent students.
She, therefore, advised both parents and students to be
wary of patronizing sub-standard universities in the
neighbouring countries.

“Most of these institutions that Nigerian students attend in
our neighbouring countries are sub-standard, we have better
standard private universities in Nigeria than those schools.
“That is why National Universities Commission (NUC) Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the Ministry
of Education had to blacklist some of these schools to save
the innocent students.
“Nigerian students are being exploited in most of these
countries, there is a particular country we went to that a
university is being run in the portal cabin right inside a
market,” she said.
According to her, Nigeria would not accept certificate from
such schools for the National Youth Service Scheme
(NYSC), because students who failed here run to those
schools.
“Don’t waste your money, your resources, your energy going
to those schools because they are substandard.
“We need to embark on awareness creation about these
schools so that students would not be victims, our children
don’t need to go there and they are paying more and getting
lesser quality.
“Let us start believing in ourselves towards revamping this
country, the economy and using the money judiciously what
it is supposed to be used for.
“Unfortunately the issue of bad leadership in the past has
affected the standard of education in the country with most
of Nigerian students as victims.
“Bad leadership over the years had plunged Nigeria to where
we found ourselves today, this is one of the reasons why the
youth must support the President in the fight against
corruption.

“Those money that are meant to be invested in schools are
being stolen by the corrupt leaders. President Buhari is
fighting about your future to secure the future.
“Things have to be fixed and they are being fixed now,
President Buhari is building the foundation now,” she said.
