Tinubu graduated from our school, Chicago university reveals

‍Nigerian accountant and politician Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu has been able to confirm his educational background after the Chicago State University confirmed that he had attended the school.

In response to The PUNCH on Tuesday, Beverly Poindexter, who is in charge of official transcript requests, enrolment, and degree verification at the Office of the Registrar, Chicago State University revealed this.

The email read:
“Mr. Tinubu did attend our university, however, if further information is needed, go to the studentclearinghouse.org website to make a formal request.”

In a letter dated back to 20th August 1999 and signed by the then Registrar, Lois Davis, the university stated that Tinubu was indeed Its student between 1977 and 1979.

He wrote:
“Please be advised that Bola A. Tinubu did indeed attend Chicago State University from August 1977 through June 1979. He was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business and Administration with honors on June 22, 1979. His major was Accounting.”

It’s no news that Tinubu’s academic qualification has been a subject of debate for over a decade. A recent article had claimed that all the schools Tinubu claimed to have attended had disowned him.

Furthermore, Human rights lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), had also questioned Tinubu’s credentials and even sued the Nigerian Police Force for failing to investigate him.
