Reps begin probe of alleged certificate racketeering involving government officials.

Nigeria's House of Representatives has launched an investigation into alleged certificate racketeering by officials from Federal Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). The Joint Committee on Certificate Racketeering is probing the issue, which could potentially cripple healthcare systems and various sectors of the economy. The investigation follows reports of a certificate racketeering syndicate in Benin Republic, where students allegedly obtained fake degrees to join the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program.
