Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Chicago State University, CSU, has confirmed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu attended the university.<\/p>\n

The school also confirmed that the former Lagos helmsman graduated in 1979 with a bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement issued by the University to CBS Broadcasting Inc. generally referred to as CBS News.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an educational institution, we are sometimes asked to provide information related to student records,\u201d the school said in a statement issued to CBS.<\/p>\n

The school, however, explained that there is a federal law, known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, FERPA, which protects the privacy of student records and limits what an institution can make public.<\/p>\n

It went on to explain that \u201cIn August 2023, a request was made to the U.S. federal court for the university to provide information related to educational records concerning Bola Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, and a former CSU student.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe university has confirmed Tinubu attended CSU and graduated in 1979 with a bachelor\u2019s degree. Federal law, however, prevents us from providing any further information without consent or unless allowed to do so via court order.<\/p>\n

\u201cCSU is confident in the veracity and integrity of our records regarding Tinubu\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur response to the request for Tinubu\u2019s 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,\u201d Chicago State University said in a statement.<\/p>\n
