Nigerians lose millions in search of diplomas
The desperation of
many Nigerians to obtain foreign degrees following the derelict state
of tertiary institutions in our country, has rendered them susceptible
to fraudsters operating under the guise of running foreign registered
and accredited institutions in the country, a Next investigation has
revealed.
One of such
spurious institutions which have defrauded unsuspecting Nigerians of
money running into millions of dollars, is known by the names, British
School of Project Management or Project Management College, UK.
The institution(s)
runs programmes leading to the award of Executive Masters Certificates
and Advance Diploma degree in Project Accounting and Project
Management. Project Management College UK prides itself as the
“Nigeria’s first project management training institute”.
Established in
2003, it has centres in Abuja, Abeokuta, Port Harcourt, Ibadan and
Lagos, and also has opened shop in two West African countries – Ghana
and Sierra Leone.
The institution charges fees that range from N150, 000 to about half a million naira, for a two-weekend to six months course.
