Adedeji Doherty: Tinubu Never Attended Chicago State University

President Bola Tinubu’s educational background has come under scrutiny once again, following claims made by a former lecturer at Chicago State University. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Adedeji Doherty, who taught at the university from 1998 to 2001, has accused Tinubu of falsely presenting himself as a former student of the institution. Doherty insists that Tinubu never attended the university, contradicting a claim made by the President during his election campaign. This is not the first time Tinubu’s educational history has been questioned. In 2015, it was reported that he had only a secondary school certificate and no university degree, prompting him to provide a statement stating that he had graduated from Richard Daley College in Chicago, though he did not provide evidence of this. Tinubu’s campaign team has not yet responded to these latest allegations. Dr. Tunji Alausa, the Minister of Education, had previously defended Tinubu’s claims, stating that he had indeed studied at Chicago State University. However, it appears that Doherty’s account contradicts this. It is unclear why Doherty has come forward now, but his allegations are sure to add to the ongoing debate about Tinubu’s educational background.
