The Chicago State University, CSU, has confirmed that President Bola Tinubu applied to the institution as a male.
CSU Registrar, Caleb Westberg disclosed that the institution issued a letter of admission to a male.
Westberg said: “President Tinubu applied to the university as a male and a letter of admission was issued to a male. ”
The school Registrar also confirmed that one Olajide Adeniji was President Tinubu’s classmate at Chicago State University.
Speaking in court, Westberg further downplayed claims of the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacting CSU to confirm if Tinubu attended the institution.
Westberg said: “My statement that Mr. Bola Tinubu graduated from CSU was based on the transcripts in our possession.
“I have never met Bola Tinubu. I have never seen him. He did not visit our campus. He does not donate money to the school.
“In the US, Diplomas are considered merely ceremonial documents. In some other countries, it may be considered more. In the US, more reliance is placed on transcripts and not on Diplomas.
“I did not rely on information from public records to come to the conclusion that President Bola Tinubu is the person who attended CSU. I am not aware that the FBI contacted CSU on whether Bola Tinubu attended CSU.”
