DR. EMMANUEL IBE KACHIKWU, THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF STATE, PETROLEUM RESOURCES have refuted the publications made by premium times concerning obtaining first class honours in the faculty of Law University of Nigeria. In a letter made available to Naija Politico he wrote; Re: FACT-CHECK: Document shows Kachikwu lied about graduating with First Class in Law My attention has been drawn to a publication on an online medium Premium Times with a title "FACT-CHECK: Document shows Kachikwu lied about graduating with First Class in Law". In the publication the writer alleged that l, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu misrepresented information about obtaining a First Class Degree from the prestigious University of Nigeria Nsukka, citing a presentation done at Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) Abuja. I would like to categorically state the following facts; 1. That my official CV and resume is in the public domain and has been submitted to various levels of Government and Parastatals. Also the document clearly states that Dr. Kachikwu obtained a "Second Class Honours (Upper Division) degree" from the Faculty of Law in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where I graduated as best student in 1978. In addition, no First Class Honours were awarded by UNN that year. However, I was on the list for best graduands with Second Class Upper Honours for that year. At no time have I misled the Nigerian public or my colleagues in believing otherwise. 2. On the presentation I made at the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) cited by Premium Times, the substance of the assertions was to the effect that I had a first class performance in school and was emphasizing on the need for hard work amongst youths to get them to the top of their game. 3. To give credence to the statements made during that presentation, I was the best graduating student in the Nigerian Law School in the year 1979 (the first in class) with multiple prizes (winning 5 out of all 7 prizes given). In 1979, the Nigerian Law School had not begun a process of classifying its certificates. That begun many years later. However best graduands have subsequently now been classified in the First Class category by the Law School.
My results in Harvard University, which is captured in my CV correctly states that I was a Distinction graduate for the Master's degree programme (First in Class) at Harvard University and I went on to obtain my SJD in a record time of one and a half years. 4. I have worked at the highest level of the Oil and Gas industry globally for over 3 decades and indeed lectured at respectable global institutions like University of Ife, Nigerian Law School and Harvard Law School. 5. Since my appointment three years ago, first as Group Managing Director (GMD) of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), then as GMD/Honourable Minister of State, and now as Honourable Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, championed the change agenda in the Petroleum sector and changed the narrative on performance in the sector. I have also taken the liberty to attach my CV that shows all my awards and accomplishments. Thank you and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

My Brother Ibe Second Class Upper in 1978 no be beans with these indomies generation. For the fact that no First Class was awarded in that year coupled with the awards he got 5 out of 7 awards is by far more a First Class of today.
As for Atikulation, Atikulate to no where remain with our Baba and let's conclude the good work you have done. All that matters is to consolidate your first term into the coming second term.
You are using wiki as reference . Which of the mushroom schools did you attend?

Having read the wooly response provided up there; the Petroleum minister is advised to correct all other factual inaccuracies in the public domain, and refrain from indulging in any more fits of exaggeration.

I am not surprised by ulterances from the typical lazy youths.
Only failures will try to shy away from your excellent academic / professional achievents sir. A product of Havard with "distinction", abeg carry go honourable minister. You will forever remain an inspiration to lovers of success.
Same people that said PMB has no certificate but are quick to give full support to Adeleke whose highest academic qualification is SSCE cert decorated with F9.
Same people said Aisha Buhari cant travel to US because of corruption. Which she proved them wrong. But they are quick to support Atiku who cant go to USA for obvious bribery scandal.
They said PMB is fulani muslem, but are now fully supporting another fulani muslem in Atiku.
They said it is time for young people to rule and that people older than 70years are not fit....but they are now singing for Atiku aged 71years....etc
This set of people always like shifting the goal post to suit their myopic reasoning. They are never objective in their "ATIKULATIONS"
. Which of the mushroom schools did you attend?
