He specified that individuals found using bogus certificates would not only face legal consequences but would also be compelled to reimburse their monthly salaries, forfeit acquired assets, and relinquish resources earned during the period of employment.

We will seek to reclaim all the earnings accrued during that time,” warned Bishop Oginde unequivocally.
