Chicago State University (CSU) has responded to a request by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, in accordance with an Illinois, United States, court order.
CSU stated that it does not keep copies of diploma certificates issued to students, but after a diligent search, it found some certificates with the same font as the one Atiku had queried. However, due to privacy concerns, CSU did not disclose the names associated with these certificates.
CSU confirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu graduated from the university in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Despite this confirmation, CSU stated that it could not find Tinubu’s specific diploma certificate that Atiku claimed was presented by the president to INEC.
