Goodluck Jonathan's Certificate Is Authentic by Dunamis009: 10:08am On Jan 25, 2015
FOLLOWING speculations in some quarters that President Goodluck Jonathan did not complete his doctorate degree programme at the University of Port Harcourt, the institution has come out in his defence.

But the Uniport Deputy Registrar (Information), Dr. William Wodi, explained that apart from acquiring his first degree in the institution, Jonathan also got his Masters and Ph.D in the same institution.

Wodi, in a statement sent to SUNDAY PUNCH via electronic mail, described the rumour about the President’s educational qualification as baseless.

The deputy registrar of the university specifically stated that Jonathan was among 422 students that matriculated in the school in 1977 and was admitted in the Department of Zoology, which had been renamed Animal and Environmental Science.

“The authorities of the University of Port Harcourt are aware of rumours that are now spreading like harmattan fire over the doctoral degree status of President Goodluck Jonathan. The allegations have neither legs nor grounds to stand on and we hope that its purveyors will now rest in silence.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the authorities of the University wish to state without equivocation that Mr. Goodluck Jonathan, as he then was, was among 422 students, who matriculated in 1977. He was admitted into the then Department of Zoology, now Animal and Environmental Biology in the then School of Biological Sciences, now a Faculty in the new College of Natural and Applied Sciences.

“At the end of a successful residency period, Jonathan was awarded the Bachelor of Science (Upper Division) in 1981. It was rumoured among students that the young university was reluctant to award the First Class to its pioneer class in an effort to consolidate its academic profile,” Wodi said.

He said the President later enrolled into the postgraduate programme and obtained the Master of Science degree in Hydrobiology and Fisheries in 1985 and crowned his academic pursuit in the University with the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Zoology in 1995.

He said, “From the above account, it has become obvious that Dr. Jonathan successfully completed the prescribed courses and programmes as specified by the Senate of the University of Port Harcourt to earn his degrees from the university.”

Stressing that the university remains proud of Jonathan, Wodi advised any person or organisations in need of further information on the educational qualification of the President or any other student of the institution to contact authorities of the university.

“We have absolutely nothing to hide as an institution that has a statutory mandate to advance the frontiers of knowledge,” Wodi added.

i won't doubt what you wrote in your comment; some schools can actually award fake B.ENG and even admit such fake students for Masters degree in Structures. That's why some of them can't differentiate btw "there" and "their".

Which schl sold your B.ENG to you?

Even at that, with or without his PhD, GEJ is over qualified because he is done with his masters, others na jare

1. internet was not popular when GEJ finished his PhD.

2. Publishing your thesis online is a matter of choice and not a prerequisite for the authenticity of your degree.

2. When will you learn the difference btw "there" and "their"? Maybe we should begin to question the authenticity of your B. ENG. I mean, my pry 6 nephew won't make such stupid mistake.

1. Mr. President's Qualifications are not in doubt; it is pull-him-down set of people like you that are making an issue out of it.

2. The fact that you can't differentiate btw "there" and "their" proves that you must be a retard. Nigeria has spoilt sha. If not, retards with very poor understanding of english language like you won't be the ones saying someone else' qualification is false.

As someone who claims to have a degree in engineering I expect you to know that the minimum number of years expected for completion of a Ph.D is three years and not four as you wrote. Secondly, senior lecturers and readers of high academic standing can also supervise Ph.D thesis not necessarily professors. As for Jonathan's thesis it's obvious it's not online but there's a copy at the dept of Zoology's library if you care so much for it.

Majority of Nigerians think like you, They have abysmal levels of thinking coupled with years of poverty and Neglect....Since majority determines the whole, we can safely say Nigerians think like Idiots and are dragging the few Enlightened once backward
