![BREAKING: CSU Responds To Atiku’s Request, Confirms President Tinubu graduated from school in 1979 [Details]](https://infopowerng.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/53F77ABC-1472-4221-984D-BF20ED7CBC65.jpeg)
Chicago State University Registrar, Caleb Westberg, made a sworn statement on Tuesday affirming that President Bola Tinubu indeed attended and graduated from the institution in 1979.
Westberg also acknowledged that the admission letter clearly indicated that the Nigerian President was a male student who attended the school from 1977 to 1979.
He said: “There were materials in Mr. Tinubu’s records that show he was a male in the application to CSU. Mr Tinubu identified himself as a male. His letter of admission identified him as a male. It says: ‘Dear Mr. Tinubu’”
His statements were documented in a deposition filed at Angela Liu’s office, the legal counsel representing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, in Chicago, United States.
During the legal proceedings, Angela Liu had five attorneys from her firm participating via Zoom, while Michael Hayes represented CSU.
Tinubu, on the other hand, was represented by legal counsel Victor P. Henderson and Oluwole Afolabi.
Continuing with his testimony, Westberg informed the court that the university received a daily influx of inquiries ranging from five to 30 individuals eager to verify the authenticity of the president’s attendance at the institution.
He also clarified that the university did not inform the former Lagos governor about any of the requests.
He deposed, “We believe Bola Tinubu who attended CSU is the same person who is the president of Nigeria today. Tinubu is an unusual name in the US. He matched the records in the file against the information provided by the student or on behalf of the student.
”We believe Bola Tinubu who attended CSU is the same person who is the president of Nigeria today. The university only has diplomas that students didn’t pick up in its possession.
“I have the diploma that was made available to Mr. Enahoro-Ebah in our possession because Mr. Tinubu did not pick it up. I do not have the Diploma that was submitted to INEC in our possession because he had picked it.”
When probed further to confirm if the Tinubu that enrolled at the school was a male or female, the registrar insisted, “Tinubu applied to the university as a male and a letter of admission was issued to a male.”
