The Vice-Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaria, is now at the National Assembly for the Senate Committee on
Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition hearing investigating the certificate
scandal involving Kogi State senator, Dino Melaye.
The Senate had last week tasked the committee chaired by
Samuel Anyanwu, PDP-Imo, to investigate the allegation that Mr. Melaye,
APC-Kogi, did not graduate from ABU as he claims in official documentations.
That Senate’s resolution followed a motion by former
Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, who said the scandal had made the Senate subject of
public ridicule.
Mr. Melaye claims eight degrees, including two from
Harvard University and London School of Economics and Political Science, but
Sahara Reporters reported how the two schools debunked the Senator’s claims.
Mr. Melaye is also present at the hearing currently
underway.
The ABU had turned down earlier media inquiries to
confirm whether Mr. Melaye graduated from the school.
Contacted by journalists last week, the school’s
management said it would only state its position if contacted by the Senate.
