ABUJA - The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC), Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, held a crucial meeting today with a reporter from a prominent news outlet at the ICPC headquarters in Abuja. The meeting aimed to discuss and verify the outlet's recent report on alleged corrupt practices in a rapid degree issuance scheme at a university in Cotonou.
In a bid to ascertain the authenticity of the allegations and move beyond mere speculation, the ICPC Chairman engaged in an intense conversation with the undercover reporter regarding their December 30th publication. The report exposed a concerning situation at Ecole Superieure de Gestion et de Technologies (ESGT) in Cotonou, where degrees are purportedly obtained in an astonishingly short time frame of just six weeks. This alleged process reportedly bypasses essential academic procedures such as application, registration, coursework, and examinations.
Recognizing the seriousness of these claims, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN, deemed it necessary to launch a thorough investigation into the matter. The primary objective of the investigation is to gather concrete evidence and initiate appropriate actions against any individuals or institutions found to be involved in fraudulent practices.

Through rigorous investigative efforts, it aspires to uncover the truth behind the alleged degree scheme, restoring faith in the credibility of academic qualifications.
