NUC releases list of Fake 58 universities in Nigeria

 The National Universities Commission, NUC, has released the official list of 58 fake universities operating in Nigeria at the moment.

This comes as the commission also disclosed that it was investigating eight other universities for running illegal degree programs in the country.
