Remember, a degree from an illegal university is worthless. It won’t be recognized by employers or for further education, leaving you with wasted time and money.

Always verify a university’s legitimacy before applying. Check the NUC’s official website for a list of accredited institutions. Don’t be fooled by attractive promises or low fees – these are often red flags for illegal operations.
