National Universities Commission Warns Honorary Doctorate Recipients Not To Use "Dr" Before Their Names

 The National Universities Commission has expressed concern over the growing misuse of honorary doctorate degrees by Nigerian universities and unaccredited institutions across the country.

The Commission’s Executive Secretary, Prof. Abdullahi Ribadu, disclosed this on Friday in Abuja while presenting the findings of an investigation into the “awards and public misuse of honorary doctorate degrees.”

Ribadu said the inquiry, which covered 61 institutions and professional bodies, revealed “deeply concerning” practices, including the indiscriminate conferment of honorary degrees and even the awarding of fake professorships.

The NUC boss warned that recipients of honorary doctorates must not use the title “Dr” as part of their names, stressing that such titles are reserved for holders of PhDs or medical degrees.
