Amid the controversies generated following
revelations that the newly appointed head of the
Federal Inland Revenue Service, Babatunde
Fowler, was brandishing a fake doctorate degree
from a United Kingdom institution, Irish
International University, the 59-year-old has since
dropped the honourary degree from his Wikipedia
entry.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday
named Fowler as the new head of the FIRS, but
hours after the announcement of his appointment,
it emerged that his doctorate degree might have
been fraudulently obtained.
Sahara Reporters, an online news platform,
claimed in one of its stories that Fowler’s ‘Ph.D’
obtained from IIU in May 2007 was fake.
The former Lagos Internal Revenue Service boss,
according to SR, “engaged in desperate efforts to
erase the controversial title from the Internet
especially on Wikipedia.” His biography has been
edited on the website of the LIRS while the title of
“Dr.” remains on his personal webpage. Seven
years ago, a BBC investigation labelled IIU as a
fake institution dishing out “substandard and
worthless degrees” to individuals, especially
influential politicians and business men from
Africa.
The non-existent university is said to be linked to
Baron Knowth, a chartered accountant whose real
name was discovered to be Jeffrey Wooller.
