Others are the Federal University Otueke, Bayelsa State, and Nigerian Maritime University Okerenkoko, Warri South, Delta State.
Fulata said the committee resolved to carry out the forensic investigation of the universities due to the inconsistencies observed in their submissions during the committee’s oversight visit to the institutions.
He urged some of the newly established universities to avoid the mistakes of older universities.
Fulata said the committee had visited over 30 federal universities in 21 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the last few weeks.
