THE Ahmadu Bełlo University, ABU, Zaria has said it would not release information on the controversy surrounding the academic certificate Dino Melaye, the All Progressives Congress senator representing Kogi West District, until formally approached by the Senate.

Mr. Melaye, who says he graduated from the university with a degree in Geography, was last week accused of making false claim.

An online newspaper, Sahara Reporters, said Mr. Melaye did not graduate from ABU.

Mr. Melaye has denied the allegation.

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

The Senate says it is investigating the controversy.

The authorities of ABU had earlier promised to issue a statement on the matter on Wednesday, but failed to disclose its outcome.

“The management has decided not to address journalists on the alleged certificate issue since a committee has been set up to investigate the matter by the Senate of the Federal Republic Nigeria.

“As such, we will await request by any relevant authority, then we would respond accordingly,” Premium Times quoted Adamu Mohammed, the director of publicity of the university to have said.

Mr. Mohammed also said individuals or organization seeking information in respect of any of its student should follow the normal process of officially writing to the university management.

ABU don dey dribble like messi! Did Dino graduate or not?

psucc:
Guy no dribbling there for now. let Senate make official request and if they fail, then we can rope them in.

Goke7:
the senate does not need to make an official request before ABU can clearly state officially whether Dino graduated or not. What Dino is claiming has already been contradicted by ABU and this is where the problem is.

I remembered the former vp sambo another ABU graduate whose certificate got burnt, ABU quickly came out to state categorically that sambo was their graduate, it never took them donkey years like its taking them now on dino's matter. yeye de smell. Dino ran his mouth too fast.
