Editor,

I am writing to add my voice to the concerns that some lecturers in universities are using forged academic papers.

Most of these lecturers reportedly come from neighbouring countries and some of the universities they purportedly attended do not exist at all.

It is therefore important for relevant authorities like the police or ministry of education look into this matter. A thorough verification is needed before it is too late. 

I would also suggest that before one is employed, schools should get in touch with their previous schools or universities for verification to avoid employing quacks.

This, I believe will in turn help improve the general quality of education in our country.
