The listed universities are:
•National University of Nigeria, Keffi (Nasarawa State);

•Richmond Open University, Arochukwu (Abia State)

•Volta University College, Aba, (Abia State) and
•the satellite campuses of Ambrose Ali University.
The publication also reveal that:
“In addition to the closure, the following `Degree Mills’ are currently undergoing court actions; the purpose of these actions is to prosecute the proprietors and recover illegal fees and charges on subscribers. For the avoidance of doubt, anybody who patronizes or obtains any certificate from any of these illegal institutions does so at his or her own risk. Certificates obtained from these sources will not be recognized for the purposes of NYSC, employment and further studies.”
