The House of Representatives has exonerated the Republic of Togo of blame in the issuance of fake academic certificates in a controversy that rocked the education sector a few years ago.
This is just as the House Committee on Public Petitions has turned its attention to the Republic of Benin, where an alleged syndicate specialising in certificate forgery is in full swing.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Public Petitions, Bitrus Laori, disclosed this during a resumed investigative hearing in Abuja today, following a petition filed by Sovereign Legal Practitioners on behalf of key education stakeholders.
The petition questions the Federal Ministry of Education’s sweeping pronouncement last year that implicated both Togo and the Benin Republic in academic fraud.
