NTI Degrees Are Illegal.
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has warned prospective students not to enroll into the degree and postgraduate diploma in education programmes run by the National Teachers Institute (NTI), Kaduna as the programmes are illegal.
In a statement signed by the Director of Information and Public Relations of the NUC, Mr Ibrahim Yakasai, the NTI is in no way a degree awarding institution.
He said that the institute has persistently ignored advice by the commission to abstain from mounting degree programmes as the institute lacks the necessary approval for affiliation with any university.
The statement added that degree and post graduate diploma certificates obtained from the NTI will not be recognized for the purposes of employment, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and further studies.
