Academics Call for Government Action Against Geh Geh and Blessing CEO Over Alleged Fake Universities
In a heartfelt message shared on his Instagram account this past Sunday, Geh Geh expressed deep distress, pleading with Nigerians to appeal directly to the president on his behalf. He wrote, “This situation is truly devastating for me. Nigerians, I implore you to help me reach out to the president.”
Growing Concerns Over Illegitimate Educational Institutions
Recently, a coalition of academic professionals has intensified calls for stricter regulatory measures targeting Geh Geh and the CEO of Blessing, accusing them of involvement in the operation of fraudulent universities. These so-called institutions have raised alarm due to their lack of accreditation and questionable academic standards, which undermine Nigeria’s educational integrity.
The Impact of Unaccredited Universities on Nigeria’s Education Sector
According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), over 20 unrecognized universities have been identified in the past year alone, contributing to a surge in unverified degrees that jeopardize the job market and professional sectors. Experts warn that the proliferation of such entities not only devalues legitimate qualifications but also misleads students and parents seeking quality education.
Calls for Enhanced Oversight and Legal Enforcement
In response to these developments, academics and education stakeholders are urging the federal government to implement more rigorous oversight mechanisms. They advocate for comprehensive investigations and legal actions against individuals and organizations found culpable in promoting or managing fake universities. This movement aligns with recent efforts by the NUC to clamp down on illegal academic operations nationwide.
