The National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) denies allegations that Uganda may face Nigeria’s rejection of its degree certificates over authenticity concerns.

The NCHE investigates complaints related to higher learning institutions and takes appropriate action.

Prof Mary Okwakol, the NCHE’s executive director, clarified that there have been no complaints from Nigeria about the legitimacy of Ugandan academic papers, and contrary to reports, Nigeria has not suspended accreditation for Ugandan degrees.

Prof Okwakol further urged anyone with evidence of fake degrees to provide information for necessary action.
