Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Ibe Kachikwu, yesterday, described as false and baseless, report making the rounds that he misrepresented facts by claiming he graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, with a First Class degree.
In a statement in Abuja, Director of Press in the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Mr. Idang Alibi, said at no time did Kachikwu claim to have graduated with a First Class from the UNN, clarifying that the minister graduated from the school with a ‘Second Class Honours (Upper Division) degree’ from the Faculty of Law of the institution in 1978, and also emerged the best student.
Alibi
was reacting to a publication by an online news medium that alleged that
Kachikwu lied about his academic qualifications, while it also claimed that
this was not the first time it had found Kachikwu guilty of double-speak.
According
to Alibi, Kachikwu's official CV and resume is in the public domain and has
been submitted to various levels of government and parastatals.
