Chicago State University Gives Fresh Update on Tinubu’s Academic Degree

The Chicago State University has once more confirmed that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), did attend the university.

The academic qualifications of the presidential candidate have come under scrutiny ahead of the general election in 2023 from both opponents of the ruling party and other Nigerians.

As a result of the numerous allegations, a Nigerian lecturer living in the United States, Farooq Kperogi, stated that he reached out to a person who works at Chicago State University who is a colleague of his to ask for assistance in verifying whether or not Tinubu graduated from the institution.

After verifying from the Registrar’s office, the colleague shared the response from the university.

“In light of renewed doubts about Tinubu’s qualifications, I again reached out to a colleague of mine at the Chicago State University to help me verify if Tinubu graduated from the school.

“She told me he did but said she’d go ask at the Registrar’s office. She shared this with me,” Kperogi wrote on Twitter.
