Federal government to shut down 66 illegal universities 68 polytechnics

That's a significant development! According to reports, the Nigerian Federal Government has announced plans to shut down 66 illegal universities and 68 polytechnics across the country.

This move is aimed at addressing the proliferation of unaccredited institutions that have been operating without proper licenses and accreditation. The government has been cracking down on these institutions, which have been offering substandard education and duping students of their hard-earned money.

The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, has stated that the government will not tolerate the operation of unaccredited institutions, and that all affected institutions will be shut down immediately. This decision is expected to have a significant impact on the education sector in Nigeria, as many students and parents have been affected by the activities of these illegal institutions.

It's worth noting that this move is part of the government's efforts to reform the education sector and ensure that only accredited institutions are allowed to operate. The government has also announced plans to establish a new agency to regulate the education sector and ensure that institutions meet minimum standards.
