In a recent move by the Federal Government of Nigeria, several civil servants with degrees from private tertiary institutions in Benin Republic and Togo have been fired from their positions in various MDAs (Ministries, Departments, and Agencies). The decision affects federal workers who graduated from these institutions, signaling a crackdown on credentials. This action is part of efforts to maintain standard qualifications for government jobs and prevent undue influence by foreign educational backgrounds. As a result, affected employees will be reassigned or let go according to the government's new policy guidelines.
