Dr. Rebecca Umoru, the Provost of the College of Education, Akwanga in Nasarawa State, has decried the faking of National Certificate of Education certificates in the state by desperate students.
Umoru, who spoke in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Akwanga on Tuesday, alleged that individuals and organisations were involved in the production of the fake certificates.
The provost alleged that some cyber café in Nasarawa State are producing fake NCE certificates.
She said: “I am appealing to employers of labour that anybody presenting NCE certificate issued from 1999 to date, please find out whether it is genuine.”
Umoru assured graduates of the college that their certificates would be issued after due process.
She also warned graduands not to cut corners in order to collect their certificates, adding that fake certificates would be easily detected.
According to her, only the Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company has the approval of the college to print NCE certificates.
