Dino Melaye's Certificate: ABU Zaria Makes U-turn, Keeps Mum On Melaye by omenkaLives(m): 6:18am On Mar 23, 2017
The authorities of the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, are still meeting over the alleged certificate scandal against Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi-West senatorial district in Kogi State.

The Information Officer of the institution, Mr. Adam Mohammed, had told our correspondent on Tuesday that the management would take a decision on the matter and make its finding public on Wednesday.

“We are gathering all the facts from the faculty and department, and will make a press statement tomorrow. Thanks,” he said.

But the entire saga took a twist on Wednesday as the Information Officer rebuffed repeated calls to his cell phone.

When he was called with a number not known to him, he picked the call, but as soon as he discovered that the call was from The PUNCH, he became hostile.

He said, “ABU is not a motor park institution. We have ways of checking our systems for facts and records on such an issue. If your newspaper wants any information on the Melaye issue or any issue at all, you can write the vice-chancellor,” he said.

When reminded that he had promised that the university’s management would meet on the matter on Wednesday and give its position on Melaye’s academic status concerning his BSc degree in Geography, Mohammed declined and hung up.

But feelers from ABU indicated that the authorities were still meeting as regards the Melaye case.

A top source at the institution, who pleaded not to be named, said there appeared to be a problem with the senator’s Bachelor’s degree in Geography, adding that the management was being careful because of the political implication of the matter.

Another source, however, told our correspondent that the ‘social media’ report on the issue was unreliable.

“What I can tell you is that I know that the senator in the eye of the storm, I think, he did his Master’s in International Relations and Diplomacy (MIAD) in the university and ABU, as an organised university, cannot admit any student without a first degree to study for a postgraduate degree.

“But I don’t know whether he used the BSc degree in Geography to apply for admission or not. For me, I don’t see anything wrong in the university issuing a statement to clear the air on the matter,” the source stated.

Meanwhile, Melaye has expressed his intension to drag an online news medium, Sahara Reporters, before a court on Thursday.

Melaye wants to sue for defamation and will be demanding N5bn compensation from Sahara Reporters.

This is despite that the fact that the Senate, on Tuesday, decided to investigate the allegation based on a point of order raised by a former Majority Leader of the Senate, Senator Ali Ndume, calling for a probe into the scandal.

Melaye’s intension to take legal action against the news medium was made known on Wednesday when he invited the Senate Press Corps to a Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Abuja to cover the filing of the litigation.

Sahara Reporters had, in a report, alleged that Melaye did not graduate from the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Kaduna State, adding that he was parading a fake certificate.

But Melaye had, on Tuesday, said he was ready for the probe by the Senate.

He said, “I am here to respond to the issue raised by Senator Ali Ndume. I want to say, to me, it is a welcome development. Democracy is about investigation and no senator is above investigation. To me, it is a welcome development and it will finally clear the air on all the malicious and vindictive allegations.

“To say that I did not graduate from ABU is to say that I am not a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. ABU is a very prestigious university in this country and it is not possible for one to be running a master’s programme in the university when one did not graduate from a university. I have successfully completed one and I am doing the second one.”

In addition, SR that was bae just yesterday over their revelation about the amnesty protesters is now about to get some jabs again.. cheesy

How many days will it take ABU to clear the air once and for all in this age of technology?

I am wondering how many weeks it will take their students to collect transcript and years to collect certificate at this rate.

You don't need a transcript when you aren't going to a different school from that where you earned your requisite degree. If he claims to have obtained his first degree from ABU then he doesn't need a transcript to do his masters at ABU, his cert or statement of result would suffice.

ABU should just address this matter once and for all, just like the Harvard University did. Certificate forging is a criminal offence , especially from someone that have occupied public offices for years.
They should put everything to rest once and for all.

But I believe all these would have been verified before he was offered admission, right?

Oga, no dey talk wetin you no know. When you are attending the same institution where from your first degree was obtained, you don't apply for a transcript, you only tender your certs or statement of result at the PG school.

If you think you can reject Magu so he doesn't use you to make pepper soup, unfortunately, you failed to realize that sowore does not need your confirmation before he can use your corrupt ass to make pepper soup.

We haven't forgotten he was also busted to have operated a foreign account. Too many baggage for the bald headed Oluwole senator. grin

Hope u have same thought regarding our Buhari's certificate saga. we do not even know if he has not and claims he has or if he has not and forged or if he has and still forged.



That yoour "it is better..." are u in anyway making selection between Buhari and Dino ?


They are both in APC, you and the OP should be ashamed you brought people with no relevant qualification to power, worst of all you supported Buhari presidency with no minimum qualification but are going crazy about rumours of Dino not having a degree.


What offense will Dino commit now that has not been doubled by Buhari ?

“We are gathering all the facts from the faculty and department, and will make a press statement tomorrow. Thanks,”

What fact are u gathering, if i may ask? That Dino-suar Malay graduated from ur school or not? The height of inefficiency at record keeping in our university is alarming. Their record keeping is so poor despite the level of technology that is readily available in our society. All u need is a click of the mouse to get the result out but i'm pretty sure someone has been given the herculean task of sweating his a*s out, looking through the stack of files in the store, searching for one certain Daniel Melaye that graduated in 1999. They'll probably be on their knees now praying, make no hungry rat or cockroach never chop am undecided

Naija Which way??

It matters man. If Melaye truly did not graduate from Abu thats a serious case of certificate forgery we have in our hands. We cannot afford to have a certificate forger in the red chambers then the integrity of every Nigerian becomes questionable.
Abu need to clear this mess. Silence is no longer Golden. If Dino is indeed a bonafide Abusite they should without hesitation come out in defence of their own.
Kapish.

You are finished. Just imagine what a supposed learned person is saying. Have you verified all his claims to term him a fraud. Because you knew what you were about writing will implicate your pay master, Bubu, you started with thinking no certificate is better than forged. The statement of result your lord and personal saviour bubu presented that was signed by his school's principal that was having the waec grade for 21st century nko? What do you call that? Please sometimes try keeping quiet when you don't have anything to say. It pays better than ridiculing yourself here and gathering likes from your likes

Just to prove a point where there's none, you are saying what you don't have knowledge of. What you just wrote up there shows you are the one whose educational qualifications need to be questioned not Dino. I remembered how you and your BMC crew were bleeping like goats in heat period all over nairaland when Buhari was asked for his certificate. Saying all sort of things as waec isn't a prerequisite for good leadership. Now you are analyzing another's on the same issue. That's hypocrisy. To set the record straight, I graduated from Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger state, 2014. I went back for a masters programme 2016. I paid 5k for my transcript which was delivered to the PG school by the academic office. Anytime I wish, I can go to the academic office with my receipt and collect my copy.
Sometimes its better to keep quiet when you don't know what to say rather than rush here to ridicule yourself and gather likes from ignorant people.

Omenkalive where are you? Come and quote me with your lame and ignorant post. Every time you will be running your mouth like water board, ignorant of the fact you ain't making any sense. Just allowing politics becloud your sense of reasoning
