The Federal Education and Training Authority (ETA) has revoked the licenses of 52 private colleges for failure to comply with regulatory standards.
Among them are Leadstar College of Business and Leadership, Sri Sai College, International Leadership College, Ibex Hotel and Tourism College, Abyssinia Business and Economics College, and Afran Qallo College.
Officials say the higher education institutions ignored repeated warnings over the past year and a half to comply with registration requirements and address quality issues.
The Authority has called on regional and city administrations to ensure that the institutions immediately cease providing higher education services to prevent further harm to students and the public. It also urged authorities to investigate any damages already caused and to take the necessary legal corrective measures.
The notice issued last week does not address the fate of students who were enrolled in the now-defunct institutions.
