The National Universities Commission (NUC) on Monday cautioned Nigerian
students against seeking admission in Houdegbe North American
University, Cotonou, Benin Republic (HNAUB).
The NUC Deputy
Director of Press, Malam Ibrahim Yakassai, gave the warning in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
According
to him, the commission has a lot of reservations for the university and
has made a lot of publications to alert Nigerians.
"In fact, we
listed the university as an illegal university in Nigeria. However, in
Benin Republic where it operates, it could be a legal university, but we
cannot vouch for its quality.
"There are a lot of unethical
practices in HNAUB and we have the information. Sometimes, students
pursuing medical programmes will come back to Nigeria for clinical and
other things.
"We have no right to say it is not a recognised
university since it is recognised by the country it operates, but we do
not approve that university in Nigeria," he said.
The NUC
spokesman said that there were serious doubts about the quality of the
institution, therefore, NUC would not recommend that parents should send
their children to that school.
He said that efforts made by NUC to visit the school for fact findings were frustrated by the HNAUB’s authorities.
Yakassai, however, said he could not confirm if the institution was dominated by students from Nigeria as being insinuated.
He
added that Benin Republic had its regulatory body for universities
which should monitor the activities of Houdegbe University.
