But on NNPC's Website it says he graduated with First Class http://www.nnpcgroup.com/PublicRelations/NNPCinthenews/tabid/92/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/572/Dr-Emmanuel-Ibe-Kachikwu-Takes-over-as-GMD-of-NNPC.aspxchieyine:
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

Where is @sarrki when you need him the most peeps4u:
The five purported “partners” of the Nigeria Air project – Catamaran Nigeria Limited, Aubert Business Consulting (ABC) U.K., Arup U.K., RDC Aviation Economics U.K., and Olawoyin & Olawoyin Nigeria – have denied any involvement with the Honorable Minister of State, Federal Ministry of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika in the Nigeria Air project.
The denial followed a “Thirty-Day Pre-Action Notices to MoT-Aviation and ICRC” addressed to the “partners” by the George Uboh Whistleblowers Network (GUWN).
The Pre-Action Notices issued by GUWN Chairman, Dr. George Uboh, dated Monday, September 24, 2018, reads in part:
“We have written a letter to the Honorable Minister of State, Ministry of Transportation-Aviation and the Acting Director-General, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) on the above-captioned.
“On page 3, paragraph e), we clearly stated your involvement hence you were mentioned as one of the parties to be served a copy after the signature on page 4.
“Although we could not find on record any work your firm performed for and on behalf of “Nigeria Air”, however, we would appreciate a response from you regarding your firm’s engagement on “Nigeria Air” as Transaction Adviser (TA)/financial and economic adviser; the job you executed for and on behalf of “Nigeria Air”, and any payment(s) received for work done for and on behalf of “Nigeria Air”.
“As you may already know, “Nigeria Air” was suspended on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of the Nigerian government.
“As the attached records show, we have been investigating “Nigeria Air” before the suspension via documents procured from MoT-Aviation and ICRC through the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007 and the Freedom of Information Act, 2011.
“If your firm’s name was used to siphon funds from the Nigerian government without your knowledge, please advise us accordingly and truthfully.
“Please be cognizant of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) hence we are copying the British High Commission in Nigeria this letter.
“And because the “Nigeria Air’ deal was transacted in U.S Dollar, we are copying the U.S Embassy in Nigeria this letter as well.” [End]
The letter was subsequently copied to the High Commissioner, British High Commission, Abuja, Nigeria, U.S Ambassador to Nigeria, Abuja, Nigeria, and the Honorable Minister of Transportation.
In a sharp response, one of the “partners”, Catamaran Nigeria Limited replied to GUWN on behalf of all five “partners” and denied any involvement with Nigeria Air or Senator Hadi Sirika.
