Some blacklisted universities in Benin Republic have created means of sneaking their graduates into the National Youth Service Corps in collaboration with certain private polytechnics in Nigeria.

It was gathered that, the universities now obtain Higher National Diploma and National Diploma certificates for their graduates and students due for graduation through the private polytechnics.

After issuing the HND certificates, the polytechnics then mobilise the affected students for the mandatory NYSC.

It was also that the students were asked to pay about N400,000 to obtain the HND certificates from the polytechnics, mostly located in South-West and South-East states.

The Federal Government, in 2024 through the Ministry of Education, announced the suspension of evaluation and accreditation of degree certificates from the Republic of Benin and Togo.
