Senator Dino Melaye
hehehehe.... Following
the controversy over the academic certificate of Senator Dino Melaye
with many sources alleging that he didn't graduate from ABU, the Federal
Government has written the university.
The Federal Government has officially demanded the authority of the
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) to supply the academic details of
lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye, following the controversy over his
completion of his degree programme in Geography at the University, Guardian reports.
This new development followed information revealed by a top official of ABU, Zaria, who said: “the
University is already compiling the records of Senator Dino Melaye for
the Government that demanded the immediate release to Government and the
University will respond soon.”
According to the official, “nobody is in doubt if Senator
Melaye attended the University, but what people are saying is whether he
completed his course of study and the university will make the
relevant information available,” adding that, “to the best of my
knowledge, the Senator was on this campus and read a course of study for
which I think he graduated between 1997 and 1998 as the case may be.
“These details can always be found in the list of graduating
students of Geography in either of those years as the case may be, but
for me, I think he ran a programme and I should think he successfully
ended up in either of those years I mentioned.”
Besides, a Student Union Government (SUG) official activist and
departmental mate of Senator Melaye, who also pleaded anonymity, said, “the
Senator and I were in Geography Department and two of us were also
officials of the National Union of Geography Students at ABU.”
He remarked, “while Dino was the National President of
Geography Department, I was the Assistant Secretary General, I presided
over his impeachment during the controversy leading to his ousting from
that office.
“Let me tell you, Dino was a radical student activist in
campus. I will give that to him and at a point he was confrontational to
the establishment in the University. And at last, the institution did
everything possible to bring him close and later became the eyes of the
authority on campus.”
According to him, “I can attest that Senator Dino actually
completed a course of study in Geography in 1998; whether he had
carry-over in some courses that were later waved is what I cannot say.”
“I think Dino later graduated from ABU, Zaria with a Third
class or Pass. I am sure of that. Let anybody not deceive you that he
did not study or graduate in ABU. Go and find out, he did. He is
stubborn, that I will give to him. And I think that is what is still
trailing him in the Senate,” he said.
