The publication of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's nomination documents for the 2027 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rekindled public interest in the controversy surrounding his educational credentials, which featured in the 2023 election litigation, Daily Trust reports.
This is just as the INEC has clarified that it does not verify authenticity of academic certificates and other credentials submitted by candidates before publishing them for public scrutiny.
In the credentials of presidential candidates it released on Saturday, the INEC had listed only Tinubu's Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Chicago State University (CSU) in 1979, with no primary or secondary school qualifications among the documents made public.
