FYI: Professor Boroffice did not forge any certificate ‎
‎

‎Senator (Prof) Robert Boroffice was appointed Coordinating Director Science in the NATIONAL AGENCY FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING INFRASTUCTURE (NASENI) in 1992. ‎

The task was to oversee the Directorate of Science Infrastructure.

NASENI was established when the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology was scrapped and replaced with NASENI. ‎
‎
There are three directorates in NASENI namely Engineering,Science and Administration.

Professor Boroffice did not apply for the job. 
‎
He was invited to take up the job on the directive of the then President Ibrahim Babangida to represent the interest of Yoruba‎ race.

WHY?‎
‎
The Chief Executive of NASENI, Professor Gordian Ezekwe was from the South East. Dr Tim Obiaga from South East was the coordinating Director for Engineering. Engineer Dawaki from Kano State was the Coordinating Director for Administration.

President Babangida decided that the 4th principal office should be occupied by a Yoruba man since Nigeria stands on three legs.
‎
It is therefore ridiculous to say that Professor Boroffice fraudulently got the job with forged credentials. 

He justified the confidence reposed in him because he midwifed three Agencies namely National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA) and National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) from the Directorate of Science.‎
‎
He was eventually given the opportunity to head NASRDA which is the Space Agency.

Before he was appointed as Coordinating Director of Science at NASENI, he was the Dean, Faculty of Science in the Lagos State University, Lagos State.
