The Chicago State University (CSU) has released the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, based on the requests of candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Over the weekend, the US district court for the northern district of Illinois ordered the Chicago CSU to release the academic records of Tinubu.
Chicago State University, in its response to Judge Maldonado’s order that it supply the documents,
said it has found several certificates after diligent search matching the replacement certificate which President Bola Tinubu presented to INEC in 1992.
The school said: “The documents responsive to this request which CSU, after diligent search, has been able to locate are produced herewith and Bates labelled CSU 0008 through CSU 0010.
“The students’ names on these diplomas have been redacted for privacy reasons.
“CSU is also producing, Bates labelled as CSU 0011 and CSU 0012, diplomas prepared for other CSU students (with their names redacted for privacy) which match the format of the Tinubu replacement diploma dated June 27, 1997.”
On Atiku’s request that the school should produce a copy of Tinubu’s certificate issued in 1979, the school maintained its position that it does not keep copies of students diplomas, talk less of the one issued in 1979.
