The Vice-Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Prof. Ibrahim Garba, has confirmed that Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi State, graduated from the school.
Prof. Garba made the confirmation at an investigative hearing of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges on Monday.
He said, “From records, Mr. Melaye, formerly known as Daniel Jonah Melaye graduated, graduated from ABU with Third Class BA Geography in 2000”.
At the hearing, Mr. Melaye said he later changed his name officially from “Daniel Jonah Melaye” to “Dino Melaye” and expressed readiness to tender an affidavit backing the change of name.
He tendered the admission letter he received from ABU, his acceptance of offer, statement of result and final year project before the probe committee.
When asked by Matthew Urhoghide, APC-Edo, for his original degree certificate, Mr. Melaye said he was yet to collect it.
Mr. Melaye said he served the compulsory one-year National Youth Service Corps programme at the police college in Kaduna State.
He tendered his NYSC discharge certificate which, according to Peter Nwaoboshi, PDP-Delta, showed Mr. Melaye served between 2000 and 2001.
