Again! Aisha Buhari’s certificate has been declared fake by NUC

It will be recalled that the NUC in a directive in 2001, under former Executive Secretary Peter Okebukola to all Vice-Chancellors, had instructed all university satellite campuses to be closed. While most Universities complied, few others didn’t comply to the directive, leading to another directive by the present Executive Secretary Professor Julius Okojie, to re-affirm the initial order to close sown all the satellite campuses.

A satellite campus, according to the NUC guidelines on which basis the illegal ones were closed down, “must not be more than 200 kilometres from the main campus,” “must not be located in a state outside the state in which the main campus is located,” “must have staff of the satellite campus directly or indirectly appointed by the main campus in line with laid down academic standards.”

According to Sunday Trust, Mrs. Buhari enrolled in the undergraduate programme of the Ambrose Alli University and received lectures at its Leventis Building satellite campus, Kaduna.
A former coordinator of one the satellite campuses of the university who refused to disclose his personal details, said while some campuses were able to insert records of some students of the satellite campuses into the general students’ records at the main campus, others were just issued certificates without recourse to the parent school.
He said while the certificates of those whose records where successfully entered into the school’s main record could claim some level of validity, the others remain invalid.

He said:

“Some of the campuses at the earlier stages would get someone from the main campus in Ekpoma to invigilate the examinations and under some arrangements would then register the students’ particulars in the record of the university. After this, those certificates got a value of validity.
“However, after sometime some centers started issuing certificates to their students in the name of the parent university without any recourse to record keeping and so when employers or schools of post graduate studies contacted Ekpoma for verification, the records of most of them were not found. These developments finally led to the NUC’s hammer on those centers.”

Every effort to get responses from the Registrar of the University, Mr. Ojo Maliki and Public Relations Officer of the university, proved abortive. While mails where not responded to.
