Chicago State University confirms Tinubu’s graduation in 1979


Chicago State University versus Tinubu

Chicago State University, commonly known as CSU, has officially confimed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu graduated from the institution.

In an official statement provided to CBS Broadcasting Inc., also known as CBS News, the university confirmed that President Tinubu successfully graduated from CSU in 1979, earning a bachelor’s degree.

ā€œAs an educational institution, we are sometimes asked to provide information related to student records,ā€ the school said in a statement issued to CBS.

However, the school clarified that there exists a federal law, namely the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), designed to safeguard the confidentiality of student records and restrict the university’s ability to disclose certain information.

Furthermore, it elaborated that in August 2023, a formal request was submitted to the U.S. federal court, seeking the university’s cooperation in divulging educational records pertaining to Bola Tinubu, the current President of Nigeria, and a former CSU student.

ā€œThe university has confirmed Tinubu attended CSU and graduated in 1979 with a bachelorā€™s degree. Federal law, however, prevents us from providing any further information without consent or unless allowed to do so via court order.

ā€œCSU is confident in the veracity and integrity of our records regarding Tinubuā€™s completion of graduation requirements and degree certificate. The university is not a party to the Nigerian legal proceedings that spurred this request, and a U.S. federal judge will determine whether the university will provide further requested information.

ā€œOur response to the request for Tinubuā€™s academic records has been entirely consistent with our practices, policies and federal law. We would respond in exactly the same manner for any request for any student information by a third party,ā€ Chicago State University said in a statement.
