Badcoin: The salient questions are:
1. Did he meet the admissions requirement in ABSU?
2. If the first question is answered in the affirmative, did he meet the graduating requirements?
3. Is it not an abuse of power for a governor to become a student in a university in which he is also a visitor with the power to hire or fire?

These are the questions that should task the conscience of Abians and Nigerians and not whether the revocation was carried out in spite. That is a secondary issue.
U go fear salient questions nah. That It was carried out of spite is a primary issue here. Den ur salient questions are secondary. @ least,dats how T.A Orji sees it. Dat gov is a curse biko

mukina2: The chief press secretary to Abia state governor, Ugochukwu Emezue has described as untrue allegation by the former governor of the state, Uzor Kalu that chief TA Orji wants to revoke his degree certificate.
In a statement in Umuahia, Mr. Emezue stated that the former governor is not a graduate of Abia state university as investigations have revealed.

According to Mr. Emezue,there was a petition against the former governor alleging that he was not properly admitted into ABSU not to talk of graduating.
The petitioner claimed that Kalu armtwisted the school authorities to admit him while he was the governor following public outcry then that the state governor was not a graduate.
The petitioner also claimed that Kalu as the governor only came to school for two semesters.

Following this allegations, the senate set up a panel which found out that the transcript Kalu sent to ABSU from the university of Maiduguri did not bear the letter head of that institution.

Secondly, Kalu did not matriculate according to the rules and guidelines of the institution which makes it mandatory for a student to matriculate having dropped out from another university.

Thirdly,Kalu only came to school for two semesters and never graduated.

The chief press secretary stated that ab initio Kalu was not a graduate of the institution and the allegation of revoking his degree certificate is neither here nor there.

Mr. Emezue stated that Kalu knows fully that he is not a graduate of ABSU.
He advised the former governor to go to court to challenge the outcome of the panel’s report if he so desires.

The chief press secretary declared that the university authorities have the right to investigate certificate racketeering when the need arises.
He called on Kalu to leave chief TA Orji out of his certificate scandal

Nna, biko, wetin be ya source for this info?

oukyouths: Now that Governor TA Orji has succeeded in bribing, intimidating and bullying the ABSU Senate into revoking former Gov Orji Uzor Kalu’s degree certificate, let him now tell Abians the benefit(s) of the waste to the good people. Will this revocation bring about the rapid development that Abians are begging him for? Will the revocation make way for him to pay the poor teachers their salary arrears since November 2012? Will the revocation of Orji Kalu’s certificate rebuild Aba roads which has since his coming to office been crying for attention? What about the school fees increase, Was it Orji Kalu’s certificate that contributed to the hiking of the fees which has made ABSU and ABIAPOLY the most expensive schools in the country. Was it Orji Kalu’s certificate that has made TA Orji the most unperforming Governor in Nigeria and Abia State the most corrupt State? Was it Orji Kalu’s certificate that has made Abia the most indebted State in Nigeria, owing all the banks in the state after the same Orji Kalu set the state free from ALL indebtedness before he left office? Was it the former Governors certificate that made TA not to employ staffs for the various health centers built by the Millenium Development Goals? Ok, maybe it was the same certificate that caused TA not to have paid the Local Government Workers their salaries which is running into 6 months. Maybe it was this same certificate that has made it impossible for TA to have commisioned just one project since the inception of his administration six years ago.

WHY IS THIS CERTIFICATE SO IMPORTANT TO GOV TA ORJI?

WHY WOULD TA SPEND SUCH A WHOOPING SUM OF 550 MILLION NAIRA TO BRIBE THE ABSU SENATE AND COUNCIL?

GOV TA ORJI NEED TO EXPLAIN TO WE ABIANS AND THE ENTIRE NATION WHAT HIS STATE STANDS TO GAIN BY THIS WICKED REVOCATION.

GOV TA ORJI, PROF CHIBUZOR OGBUAGU THE VC AND GEN IKE NWACHUKWU NON ATTENDED ABSU SO THEY DONT HAVE ANY VALUE FOR ABSU CERTIFICATE THAT IS WHY THEY WANT TO RUBISH IT.

ABIAN ARE WAITING FOR TA’S EXPLANATION AND SOON.

The governor and government of Abia has nothing to do with the revocation of OUK's certificate. The exercise was conducted by the university's body responsible for such issues and it is not only OUK that has his cert revoked, i think there are others

I have never met OUK closely.I dont like him, but i like his guts. No matter how much TA wants to rubbish Orji Uzor, Both men are not on the same level. One day TA will leave government House and Orji Uzor will feast on him. Mark my words, OUK has clouth, is fearless, can fight dirty, is a grassroot man, and is only the second governor to have challenged his incumbent president ( after Tinubu) and got free (whatever their r/ship). TA cannot challenge Jonathan. He doesnt have that clouth. who born am? Is it not enough that TA is free of the god fatherism syndrome and its attendant leaching on the finances of Abians. Wetin again? Now that he claims he is no longer paying tithe to OUK, let him pay civil servants salaries, develop Abia, and provide amenities. WHAT IS OUR BUSINESS IF ORJI UZOR HAS PHD, OR WAEC. WE WANT GOOD GOVERNANCE A BEG.

STAMP OF SHAME 2: OUK SUBMERGED IN IRREDEEMABLE OBLIVION
• Forged transcript
• Employed six different persons to enter for six exams for him
• Returned to ABSU, sixteen years after ‘leaving’ University of Maiduguri
Shame has a way of locating the man with impeachable integrity. There is usually a judgment day. Some times in life, we are poisoned by the instruments of our chalice. This is obviously the case of Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK), a lowly rated secondary school and University drop – out who traded his way to the enviable position of Governor of Abia State and for eight years, he carried on with the stamp of shame; afflicting the State with fraud, indecent malpractice and the shameless act of lying under oath.
The Senate of Abia State University insists that in the first place Orji Uzor was not qualified to be admitted as a student having exceeded the stipulated three years for which a student can transfer from a University (he was rusticated by University of Maiduguri in 1984 after trading in school for four years) while he managed to do two out of the mandatory six semesters. So, his stay in ABSU is declared ultra vires and of no effect. What a shame!
The Senate of Abia State University literarily went dead
when documents were presented to show that Orji Uzor Kalu based his admission on a Transcript from a “ghost University”. Here was a man who claimed to have attended University of Maiduguri between 1980 and 1984 but presented a Transcript purportedly issued by Abia State University. In his display of acute illiteracy, the courses listed in the transcript were non – existent and unfortunately inconsistent with his claim of a transfer.
At its 69th extra ordinary meeting of 1st March 2013, the Senate of Abia State University in a resounding vote of 88 against 3; basically acting on the prompting of an Investigative Panel that looked into the allegations of irregular admission and wrongful award of the University Degree to former Governor of the State, Orji Uzor Kalu; cancelled the degree awarded to Orji Uzor and declared ultra vires any claim whatsoever made by him in that regard. To that effect, Orji Uzor seizes from the 1st day of March, 2012 to be a holder of the University Degree and declared a criminal impersonator; should he continue to so describe himself.
The Senate while cancelling the degree, said among other things that: In accordance with Section 9 Sub section 5 of the Abia State University law 1995; subject to right of appeal to the Council for a decision of the Senate, the Senate may deprive any person of Degree awarded to him/her or cancel it if the Person is not qualified to be a student or found to be engaged in any misconduct or guilty of any exam misconduct. Based on that amongst others, Kalu Orji Uzor violated the academic regulations of Abia State University on admission by transfer which rendered the admission invalid.” The University maintains that the action aforesaid derives from its onerous statutory responsibility to guide and maintain at all times the academic reputation of the university and the credibility of the University Degrees so awarded”
The self – acclaimed “Master Strategist” failed to cover his tracks and in what could be described as the dumbest forgery in the history of mankind, committed unpardonable mistakes in his quest to acquire a University degree, which was denied him by University of Maiduguri in 1984.
It would be recalled that sometime in 2000, OUK made the news for his ingenuity in going back to school having been reportedly admitted into the Government & Public Administration of the same University he was a Visitor – Abia State University. Right thinking members of the public condemned the ignoble act and lampooned OUk for desecrating the Ivory Tower. Reuben Abati had in his column in December 2001 said among other things: “OUK’s admission into ABSU is depressingly annoying as it further reduces what is remaining of the integrity of the Nigerian Universities. His act will bring further disrepute to the Ivory Tower as in the first place he is not known to have a School Certificate”. Eleven years after, Abati is vindicated.
Interestingly, Prof. Ogwo; OUK's kinsman and the University Vice Chancellor at the time was one of the three dissenting voices while the Senate voted. Ogwo represents the college of shameless scholars whose character rating is despicable and nauseating. He ought to cover his face in shame after those startling revelations. He should tell us why of the six courses Orji Uzor managed to write its exams, why six different writings were identified in the scripts. He should tell us which Officer of the University certified OUK qualified for admission sixteen years after he claimed to have left the University of Maiduguri. The Chairman of ASUU, ABSU chapter Chimezie and his friend Prof Obeten Kalu failed to reason beyond ethnic sentiments while dissenting.
Prof Victor Nmaju summed the matter in this intelligent manner, “by this decision, the University has over turned an executive fiat that saw a Visitor intimidating his employees in the most bizarre manner. We have been able to subtly redeem the integrity of the University having erroneously awarded her Degree to a person who is neither worthy in learning or character”.
Very few persons know that Orji Uzor does not even have a School Certificate. That would be a story for another day. In the meantime, I encourage him to go back to primary five as he was last seen in the Primary four class.

OUK IS A FRAUD AND THANK GOD FOR THIS MOVE BY ABSU SENATE. IT WILL SERVE AS A CHECK ON OTHER PEOPLE LIKE OUK WHO MIGHT WANT TO ARM TWIST THE SCHOOL FOR DEGREE

TA Orji is a disaster. Kalu is a known Politician and wealthy businessman. The requirement for Presidency in Nigeria is just WASSC/SSCE. Kalu doesn't need ABSU certificate to be President or Minister. TA Orji wants to useless the graduates of ABSU not Kalu. It shows that someone with ABSU certificate may hv attended school for just 2 semesters. TA Orji and his supporters are blind.
