The Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Prof. Ibrahim
Garba, on Monday told the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and
Public Petition that the senator representing Kogi West in the upper
legislative chamber, Dino Melaye, graduated with a third class degree in
Geography from the institution in 2000.
The vice chancellor told the Samuel Anyanwu –led committee that Melaye was
a student of the institution with the name Jonah Daniel Melaye.
Prof. Garba, who was invited to the venue of the hearing before Melaye
spoke, was asked by lawmakers if the senator graduated from the
institution.
An online medium, SaharaReporters, had reported last week that Melaye did
not graduate from ABU.
It claimed that the Kogi-born senator allegedly bribed his Head of
Department (HOD) to forge his transcript.
