The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission, (ICPC), has launched an investigation into the purported six-week degree program at Cotonou University.
According to the agency’s spokeswoman, Azuka Ogugua, the ICPC chairman, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, met with the undercover reporter on the matter on Tuesday at the ICPC’s headquarters in Abuja.
They addressed the outlet’s December 30th article on alleged fraudulent activities in rapid degree issuing at a Cotonou university, according to the statement, with a view to furthering the investigation and initiating related actions.
The statement read: “The investigation into Ecole Superieure de Gestion et de Technologies, ESGT, in Cotonou reveals a concerning situation where degrees are allegedly awarded in as little as six weeks, bypassing standard academic procedures like application, registration, coursework, and examinations.
“In response to these critical allegations, the ICPC is embarking on a thorough investigation. This probe will rigorously examine the networks and individuals engaged in these malpractices, with the objective of restoring and preserving the integrity of our educational system.”
