Urgent Update: Final Verdict on Benin Republic Certificates Postponed to October
Following the widespread anticipation for an official pronouncement, we have a crucial update regarding the final verdict on the certificate evaluation ban for Nigerian graduates from universities in the Benin Republic and Togo.
While many expected a resolution today, the House of Representatives has announced a slight but necessary change in its schedule.
House of Reps Reschedules Plenary Resumption
The House of Representatives officially informed the public that its plenary resumption, originally scheduled for today, September 25, 2025, has been moved to Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
According to a formal memorandum issued by the Clerk of the House, this adjustment is necessary to facilitate administrative and procedural tasks, ensuring a seamless and effective reconvening for legislative business. This means the final report from the Public Hearing Committee on the certificate matter will now be read during this rescheduled session.
The House has reaffirmed its commitment to its legislative mandate, and committee work, including public hearings and oversight visits, will continue in the interim.
What This Means for Students: Remain Calm and Hopeful
While this news may extend the wait, it does not diminish the hope for a positive outcome. The core of the matter remains unchanged: the House Committee on Public Petitions and key stakeholders have already concluded their hearing.
As we reported previously, the Chairman of the committee had already expressed strong support for the students and urged a swift resolution. The committee's final report, which is expected to validate certificates, reinstate sacked civil servants, and clear the path for NYSC mobilization, is simply awaiting the formal pronouncement on the new date.
The postponement is a procedural step, not a setback in the fight for justice. The determination of the House leadership to bring this matter to a final close is still very much in effect.
We understand the anxiety this delay may cause, but we urge all affected graduates to remain patient. The light at the end of the tunnel is still shining brightly.
Stay tuned for our live updates on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, for the official verdict.
