BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu’s Academic Records To Atiku
The Chicago State University (CSU) has disclosed President Bola Tinubu’s academic records at the request of Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the February 25 election.
The CSU’s action was in accordance with the order of the Illinois United States (U.S.) court.
Chicago State University’s statement restated its previous position that it does not have copies of diploma certificates distributed to students.
The university confirmed in the record that President Tinubu completed the institution in 1979.
Over the weekend, the district court for the northern district of Illinois ordered the Chicago State University to release the academic records of President Tinubu.
In response to the request made by Atiku, which was to release a copy of the diploma certificates issued to Tinubu in 1997, the CSU maintained that the certificates matched the formats of President Tinubu’s replacement which was dated June 27, 1997.
Based on Atiku’s demands, several samples of the diplomas the Chicago State University awarded to other students were released by the institutions based on Atiku’s demand.
Earlier, President Tinubu had claimed to have lost his original certificates but he presented a replacement for his CSU diploma to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The university also clarified that Tinubu ticked (M) as against the circulated copy that the certificate belonged to female and blamed the differences in the dates on clerical error.
