…Says he graduated in 1979
Chicago State University (CSU) in the United States, has finally confirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended the university, saying he graduated in 1979 with a Bachelor’s degree.
This was contained in a statement issued by the University to CBS Broadcasting Inc. generally referred to as CBS News. In the statement, the school said, “As an educational institution, we are sometimes asked to provide information related to student records”.
The school, however, explained that there is a federal law, known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, FERPA, which protects the privacy of student records and limits what an institution can make public.
Recall that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, had alleged that documents showing that Tinubu graduated from CSU in 1979, were not authentic, and had highlighted it as grounds to nullify Tinubu’s election victory.
