Reward journalist who revealed fake Benin certificates, Bwala tells Tinubu

Former vice presidential aide, Daniel Bwala, has praised the journalist who went undercover and exposed the fake degree certificates issued by some universities in the Benin Republic.

Bwala said the journalist should be given the award of Man of the Year by all media houses for saving Nigeria from the menace of certificate fraud.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Bwala said the journalist’s investigation had led to a major government policy decision to blacklist some of the universities in the Benin Republic and to verify the credentials of all Nigerians who obtained their degrees from that country.

He said the journalist had also helped the Minister of Education to score a serious pass mark in the performance index assessment.

Bwala urged President Bola Tinubu to personally invite the journalist and honor him for his courage and professionalism.

He said the next stage was to weed out the so-called graduates from all employment and services they were contracted to, adding that it would shock Nigerians to know where they were and what positions they occupied. READ MORE
