PoliticsMr President Should Be Jailed For Lying Under Oat! by bluehorizo(op): 9:18am On Jan 26, 2015
The president’s profile on the State House website reads
thus: “He graduated with Second Class Upper honours in
1981. In 1985 and 1995 he studied for his Master’s and
Ph.D degrees in Hydrobiology and Fisheries Biology, and
Zoology respectively, from the same University.”
This gave him the status of being Nigeria’s most
educated President ever. This was until the masses
inspired by the increasing influence of social media and
improved citizens participation in governance, began to
ask questions.
Some began to ask, for a president with issues of
eloquence and clarity of thought according to his critics,
where was the evidence of his doctorate degree? For one
whose campaign team has asked the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disqualify his
main challenger over the same issue of academic
qualifications, wasn’t this being a proverbial case of
removing the speck in another’s eyes when a log is
embedded in the accuser’s?
It caused so much of a storm; we went in search of the
president’s thesis.
Mrs. Victoria Boyo was Head of Department (HOD) of
Home Economics at the time when Dr. Jonathan was a
lecturer at the Rivers State University of Education
confirmed that he was a colleague then. “He was one of
those very quiet people who couldn’t hurt a fly,” she
recalls. “He hardly participated in even campus politics
but as far as his qualifications are concerned, I don’t
know anything.”
At the departmental library of the Department of Zoology
(now Animal & Environmental Biology), a dedicated two-
hour search by two volunteers combing through the
shelves, yielded nothing.
The resident librarian, who joined the departmental staff
in 2006 says she got to the task of arranging the projects,
dissertations and theses of past students at the
undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels as soon
as she arrived. “I never once came across the president’s
doctoral thesis,” she said, on condition of anonymity.
The catalog in the library was no help as it lists only
theses submitted from 2007.
The entire department moved to its present location on
third floor of the four-storey building that houses the
entire College of Sciences in 1993 from the old Choba
Park campus that at present still has the Faculty of
Education. While it is possible that many copies of such
documents were misplaced in the relocation, Jonathan’s
could not have been among the affected ones, as he
supposedly submitted it two years later, in 1995.
Another member of staff who wouldn’t want her name in
print, mentioned that during an accreditation exercise and
inspection tour of the school as recently as 2014, officials
of the National Universities’ Commission (NUC) asked to
be shown the departmental library. While inside, they
asked to see the thesis of Jonathan, the department’s
most prominent export ever, but it was unavailable. At the
time, she says, a new HOD had just been appointed who
claimed not to know the status of the missing document,
leaving the NUC officials bewildered.
Interestingly, Jonathan’s Master’s dissertation obtained
in 1986 in Hydro-Biology and Fisheries Biology
specialization in the same course (Zoology), was also
nowhere to be found – even though there are some that
date back as far as 1981.
Of course, record-keeping in Nigeria is notoriously poor
and many universities are yet to digitize their libraries.
Roseline Konya, professor of pharmacology and
toxicology, and one-time Commissioner for Environment
under the administration is currently the Dean of
Graduate Studies at the university. Back in 1995, she
supervised one Asim E. Eno. By virtue of the time of
submission, Konya could have also supervised the
President if he was a doctorate student then. Attempts to
reach her proved abortive as she was “not on seat” when
this reporter visited. Mails to her have been unreplied.
“Who you wan put for trouble,” someone in her office said
after offering her email address, while refusing to give up
her mobile number. “She will never reply you on this
matter.”
Below are pictures from the thesis of one Asim E. Eno
who also submitted a thesis in 1995, the same year
Jonathan supposedly did his too.
The current Head of Department for Animal &
Environmental Biology, Professor Florence Nduka, also
could not be reached for comments as at the time of
publishing this report as she was also “not on seat”.
An official enquiry submitted to the school administration
has not been replied.
An extensive search online revealed a conference paper,
“Identification of West African Estuarine Shrimp and Crab
Larvae” which was co-written by Jonathan, G.E. with
Powell, C.B. and Hart, A.I. (1985) on Aquatic Commons,
the directory for publications on natural marine,
estuarine, brackish and fresh water environments. At this
time, the president was still a lowly lecturer in the
Department of Biology at the Rivers State College of
Education.
In the aforementioned 1985 paper, Jonathan self-
references a publication which is in all likelihood, his
Master’s dissertation. Titled “Stage 1 larvae of fresh and
brackish water decapod crustaceans (excluding
Natantlal) of the Niger Delta”, it is however dated 1984,
two years earlier than the quoted date which is present in
all his official profiles and bios. Further search on Aquatic
Commons for the PhD thesis turned up no results
whatsoever for the year 1995.
There were a few other conference papers online in the
Web of Science journal under the name “G.E. Jonathan”.
While it was not possible to determine accurately the
identity of the author, they were published in 2003, 2006
and 2010 which would make him (if he were the one) a
multitasker and intellectual of the highest order,
combining the challenges of governance with the rigours
of academic research.
No single academic journal has an online record of his
research from 1985 – 1995 when Jonathan should have
been very active as an academic scholar, which is why
the renewed activity between 2003-2010 when he was in
active politics, seems suspect.
“The first person listed is usually the author of the
publication and other names are usually those of scholars
or senior colleagues in the field, to give the paper weight
and attract favourable reviews”, explained the Librarian.
”It is very possible that he did not author those papers.”
So we thought to ourselves – how about the vice
president?
Recently, there was an admission by the normally
taciturn Namadi Sambo that both his Bachelor’s and
Masters’ degree certificates were burnt in a fire, the
circumstances of which were unexplained. The
controversy about the suitability of his person to lead
Nigeria, given the uncertainty surrounding his academic
qualifications or the lack of them, has also extended to
him.
His official profile on the same State House website
reads: “He attended the School of Basic Studies at the
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria in 1972, after which he
gained admission into the famous Department of
Architecture, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria 1973 and
graduated in 1976 with Bachelor of Science degree with
Honours in Architecture (B. Sc. (Hons) and holds a
Master’s degree (M. Sc.) Arch 1978.”
In submitting his documents to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC), Sambo attached a letter
signed on behalf of the institution’s registrar by one
Alhassan Garba, the Principal Assistant Registrar,
verifying that he indeed obtained both degrees.
A staff (who did not want his name in print) at the Public
Affairs Department at the main campus of Sambo’s alma
mater – the Ahmadu Bello University, in Samaru, Zaria
said the school Public Relations Officer was not available
to comment but that the Vice-President was indeed an
alumnus of the university. “I can assure you that he is an
alumnus of this institution”, he said. Sometime ago, his
certificates were razed in a fire and the university
authorities have given him a letter to that effect so people
should stop playing politics with that.”
YNaija also checked in at the Department of Architecture,
Faculty of Environmental Design. There was an up-to-
date catalogue of theses from 1963-2010 in the data
room of the departmental library, which from the look of
things was far more organized than the one at Port
Harcourt. It was compiled by the umbrella body of
students in the department, the Society of Architecture
Students (SAS) in February 2011, a few months to the
presidential elections that year.
Right there along with other students in 1978 is the name
“M.N. Sambo” with the title of his thesis: “Brick Factory”
beside it. For most of the other theses in the catalogue,
there was a title with a location for the project work e.g.
“THOMSON A. – Car Service Station for Kaduna” Both
librarians checked the inner store at different times on
separate occasions and couldn’t find it, saying it was
unavailable.
“I don’t know why it’s not here”, said one of them who
also checked the list of borrowed theses but could not
find any record of it there. An official enquiry to the
university authorities has not been replied as at the time
of sending this report in.
Barr. Joseph Agu, a Lagos-based lawyer argues that
getting an FOI request for the universities to produce the
thesis of both men would be a waste of time as section 15
(1) and (2) of the FOI act covers both men and any judge
would dismiss the case, ruling that his private rights
outweigh public interest.
The section reads:
(1) A public institution shall deny an application for
information that contains –
(a) trade secrets and commercial or financial information
obtained from a person or business where such trade
secrets or information are proprietary, privileged or
confidential, or where disclosure of such trade secrets or
information may cause harm to the interests of the third
party provided that nothing contained in this subsection
shall be construed as preventing a person or business
from consenting to disclosure;
(b) information the disclosure of which could reasonably
be expected to interfere with the contractual or other
negotiations of a third party; and
(c) proposal and bids for any contract, grants, or
agreement, including information which if it were
disclosed would frustrate procurement or give an
advantage to any person.
(2) A public institution shall, notwithstanding subsection
(l), deny disclosure of a part of a record if that part
contains the result or product of environmental testing
carried out by or on behalf of a public institution.”
The controversy continues as it becomes pertinent to ask
if both men lie under oath to INEC and their party, the
PDP.
