The Chicago State University has finally released the academic records of President Bola Tinubu.
The records were released following a request by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who contested against Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Atiku had requested the documents from the university to support the allegation that Tinubu forged his academic certificate with the hope that if the allegation is successfully proven, Tinubu’s election would be overturned on forgery grounds.
On Monday, October 2, 2023, the university produced three out of the four sets of documents Atiku’s legal team requested.
The documents contained Tinubu’s admission records, and a letter confirming his attendance at the university from August 1977 and June 1979.
The letter stated that Tinubu majored in accounting and was awarded a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with Honours on 22 June 1979.
