The National Universities Commission has began the clampdown on illegal universities in Nigeria with the closure of a university in Oyo State.
The closed institution which was established by one Prof. Ogunleye in October 2014, is Borough College, London located in Igboho, Oke Ogun area of the state.
The university had been running with student strength of over 200 before the tip-off which led to the visit of NUC and ICPC to Igboho where the school is cited.
The chairman committee on closure of illegal universities in Nigeria, a sub group of NUC, Prof. Adebisi Balogun said in Ibadan on Sunday that Borough College London, with six faculties was an illegal institution not approved by the commission.
He said the closure was carried out in collaboration with the Independent Corrupt Practice and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
