Benin Certificate Suspension ‘Bad Way To End Our Year,’ Nigerian Student Reacts

The Students Representative Council President of Ecole Superieure De Geston Et Technologies University, Cotonou, Benin Republic, Prinz-Ufokimo Ime Udo, has expressed disappointment with the recent suspension of evaluation of degree certificates from his school and others from the country and Togo.

The suspension followed an investigative report by a Nigerian journalist, Umar Audu, detailing how he acquired a degree from a university in Benin Republic in less than two months.

Reacting to the development in an exclusive interview, the student leader said they news of the suspension dented their holiday mood.

“I will say as a student, it is just a bad way to end our year because all of us were enjoying our Christmas holidays only for us to just see an investigation by a reporter about the so called from our school. We did not actually receive it very well as students.

“To me personally I was thinking it was just a way someone wanted to trend on social media but I woke up on the 2nd of January and saw a new of suspension of certificate accreditation in Benin Republic; that was when the whole thing was done on me,” he said.
