A school in the United States of America, Campbellsville University has revealed that it would not accept applications from Nigeria and two other countries, News About Nigeria reports.
This development is coming amidst President Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University (CSU) certificate saga in the United States.
According to a mail shared by an X user identified as Baridueh Badon, the school said it won’t accept applications from Nigeria, Nepal and Bangladesh because of the high rates of forgery in the countries.
Badon, in his post, alleged that Tinubu was the cause because the CSU’s Registrar, Caleb Westberg on Tuesday revealed under oath that the certificate Tinubu presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was not from the school.
His post reads: Tinubu, as president of Nigeria, has set universities against Nigerian students over forgery of results and identify thief. Campbellsville University is no longer taking students from Nigeria following high rates of fraudulent applications. The world is watching us.”
The rejection mail the applicant got from the University reads: Hello, due to high rates of fraudulent applications, Campbellsville University has suspended processing of new applications from Nepal, Nigeria and Bangladesh.
Applications from these countries are immediately rejected upon submission. Thank you.”
Recall that Atiku had secured the release of Tinubu’s education records from CSU through a court subpoena in the United States amidst objections from the President that releasing his records would cause him irreparable harm.
The released records, which came first on October 3 and a deposition on Tuesday, revealed that the President’s 1979 CSU certificate he submitted to INEC was different from samples of certificates the University issued to students that same year.
