The Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaria, Professor Ibrahim Garba
has confirmed that Nigerian Senator, Dino
Melaye who bears Daniel Jonah Melaye as
that time actually graduated from Ahmadu
Bello University, Zaria with third class in
Geography in the year, 2000.
This confirmation follows allegations that
the lawmaker forged his degree certificate
from the school.
At Monday hearing by the Senate Committee
on Public Petitions, Ethics and Privileges,
the Chairman Senator Samuel Anyanwu,
having put Dino Melaye on oath, explained
that there was a complaint against him by a
colleague, Senator Ali Ndume that he was
parading a questionable degree certificate
from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
While responding, Dino having tendered
series of documents to support that he was
a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University
explained that he has also sworn affidavit as
to conflicts in his names.
“Distinguished Senators, I have sworn
affidavit to my name which reads, Daniel
Jonah Melaye to Dino Melaye, because
Jonah is actually my father’s name.”
He added: “because I have become popular
with Dino over times, I have decided to bear
Dino Melaye and you could see that my
admission to study Masters degree bears
Dino Melaye.”
Meanwhile, Senator Matthew Urhoghide
noted that they could see statement of
results with an affidavit and not the
purported original degree from ABU.
In response, Dino said, he was yet to collect
his original certificate, adding that collection
of certificates is usually at any body’s
convenience.
He revealed that he was ready to collect the
original certificate within the week.
