A university has been affected by the issue of fake titles. The typical path to becoming a Professor in Nigeria involves many years of work and evaluation. This process includes publishing, external assessment, and defense of work before the university Senate, taking at least 10-15 years.

The process is rigorous, involving several stages of promotion. However, some individuals have managed to bypass this system by obtaining certificates from unverified sources. This has raised concerns about the legitimacy of certain titles.

Further details on this issue, referred to as the Anthony Kila affair, are available from the source, including an article by Austin Aigbe.
