I even heard that Igwe didn't forge his Ph.D certificate, that it was actually the board that doesn't know that attestation means certificate in French universities, and that he also went back for them to revalidate it. We all don't know the truth until we hear from the minister. This is a country where somebody's reputation will be maligned on the pages of newspaper, but in the end he or she will not be guilty as said. So, don't jump into conclusion yet.

You people lie shamelessly.
Where is his Phd certificate.


The Phd certificate is normally issued in Benin by the Ministry

You talk as if we are illiterate here.

If you have a foreign language degree then there is a procedure for notarization and translation that is internationally recognised.

After nearly 20 years NO CERTIFICATE.?

Chairman of University council is not same as Principal or Vice-Chancellor.

The dude was a medical doctor who falsely held a doctorate degree from a foreign university, and when the truth was revealed, Azikiwe as Visitor to the school who had already appointed 2 Igbos previously, insisted he must have a 3rd Igbo Chairman of the School Council.

You're just a pathological liar. Ikejiani didn't falsely hold a doctorate degree from a foreign university. He only held a doctorate in medicine (MD) and you misinterpreted it to mean another thing. He first held B.Sc and master's degrees before he went back to medical school and became a medical doctor. Unlike Nigeria that awards MBBS, Canada and the US award MD (doctorate in medicine). It's not Ph.D. He didn't claim to have bagged Ph.D. It shall not be well with liars like you.


3rd Igbo Chairman of the Council? See another lie. This is a post occupied by just one person. There are no three positions or offices of a Pro Chancellor and Chairman of a Council in one university, and Ikejiani was the only one appointed for that period. Yorubas and lies are one.

Onu is Igbo so I’m not surprised. This is the same country where Adeosun was hounded out of office because of an irrelevant NYSC certificate.

Chima Igwe forged a PHD attestation to get rapidly promoted since 2002. He did not complete the PhD program until 2020, 18 years later. Demoting him shouldn’t even be an option in the first place, he should have been dismissed outrightly. But no, his Igbo brother want to keep him in office as DG of a federal research agency. The same people who cry about merit everyday are the ones doing everything to destroy merit in the public service.
Look how you brought tribalism to this thread, later you will claim to be neutral.

Nigeria, what a country - the man completed his study then attestation was issued but did not defend it to get certificate.. actually the ministry is after certificate and not attestation.. hence he went and defend it and was issued certificate with another attestation to prove that he has defended..so my question is was he promoted because he presented attestation in 2002 or he was promoted because he presented certificate.in 2002. If Mr.Igwe was promoted because he presented attestation of completion of his PhD in 2002 then he shouldn't be demoted but if he presented a certificate (forged) then he will be demoted to serve as example to in coming civil servants otherwise demoting him may be a witch hunt which minister may have found out..Nigeria is a very bad country that everybody is looking for nagetivity to gain relevance which might be the case here..Nigerians please let's remove tribalism to move forward..as for the permanent sec,he can win the war whether Fulani or not because he is answerable to the minister for now.

It is obvious you are a chronic illiterate.

The fraudster was the 3rd Igbo to hold such office in immediate succession because that was the domination agenda of Azikiwe.

Even Kenneth Dike that was made Principal was chosen by an Igbo led board of Louis Mbanefo, ahead of the more senior and more qualified Prof Oladele Ajose, who was the most senior Nigerian and African on the Academic Board, and the first African to be tenured as a professor in the University, and one of the first African professors on the whole continent.

But in that era, merit only meant to be Igbo.

Azikiwe as Visitor to the University, ensured he persisted with both a Igbo principal and an Igbo led School Council.

You are quoting wikipedia bio tales when we are discussing a fraud that was well reported then and can still be found online.

It has never been well with Igbo dominators like you who long for such nepotistic days, but now have to make do with wailings of marginalization.

Attestation doesn't mean Certificate.

He didn't defend his PhD thesis...hence he isn't a graduate.

What we should be asking is why Igwe would jettison defending since 2002?
If you don't defend your thesis/project, are you a graduate? NO.

I am still in shock why he will make that kind of silly mistake. He only defended his thesis 2 months ago.

Journalism in Nigeria is all about source.

Whona Weldon.

Actually, this 'who becomes FIIRO DG' case has been on for a while now.

A formal DG, Dr Elemo, left by imposing on the FIIRO community Chima Igwe as the new DG. As at that time, he wasn't even the next inline - the right person to occupy the position. And instantly, the FIIRO employees cried out to the government on the issue but because of the patron-client-patronage setting that exist between Min. Onu and Dr Elemo (and Chima Igwe), nothing serious has been done to heed their cries.

Why did Dr Elemo impose Igwe as the new FIIRO DG?

Dr Elemo, (f), was the institute's DG for quite a time before she retired last year. And when she was there as the DG, some anomalies took place, particularly in the Accounting Dept. The anomalies got worse when she was about to leave last year.

On her way out of the system, Dr Elemo started selling some of the institute's properties to herself at a very, very cheap prices. Most notable - the ones I can recall - of the properties are some Air Conditioner (AC) belonging to the institute. After all these, to avoid been called for trial when she's gone, she needs a loyalist up there as the DG of the institute. She needs someone to cover her tracks.

Since then, the case has been going on and on, back and forth, and it has resurfaced again.

The institute's Board continues to fight Igwe on the ground that he doesn't have the qualification required for the post, as the Hon. Min. of Sci. and Tech. makes himself a stumbling block against stripping Igwe off the post.
____________________________________________________

I think Dr Elemo has the direct connection with the Minister not Igwe himself. Dr Elemo is promoting her own selfish interests (which include imposition of Igwe as the institute's DG) underground, and the Hon. Min. is their best bet of making this a reality.

You mean lack of foresight due to unbridled ambition is class?

Awolowo used his position in Gowon's government to ensure the East Central state got all of its allocations that accrued during the war, and ensured that loan schemes were available to the Easterners in their own region after the war.

You should be happy that a liberal mind like Awolowo was in that government, else we would have been going to the museum to see the remainder population of an endangered tribe.

Once Awolowo's patriotic mission was over, he resigned from the Gowon government to lead a demand for an end to military rule.

Yorubas have no complaint about his role in the affairs of the tribe, and Nigeria that he served only have commendations and praise for his service.

As for the conquered rebels who had no choice but to make an unconditional surrender, they continue to lick their wounds.
