NANS Calls For The Revocation Of"Dr."Buhari's Degree, Insists It's Fraudulent

The National Association of Nigerian Students has called for the revocation of President Muhammadu’s Buhari’s honorary doctorate degree because he has not cleared the air on his certificate saga.

A few days ago, a Honorary Doctorate Degree was conferred on the President by the Kaduna State University.
The President of the student’s body, Comrade Tijani Usman reportedly said Kaduna State University is not authorised to confer doctorate degrees.
Usman said “It is quite unfortunate that at a time we are clamouring for re positioning of our educational sector, our leaders are doing the opposite by their actions and inactions.

“The show of shame that took place in Kaduna State University (KASU) on 12 December, 2015, is capable of making foreign Universities and corporate organizations to further undermine and disregard degrees obtained from Nigerian schools.
“We expect our leaders to be our role models by living exemplary life. How can one explain that, President Muhammadu Buhari who has not even cleared the air on his certificate saga, still went ahead to accept a fraudulent honorary degree from a university that is not authorized by National Universities Commission (NUC) to do so.
“The honorary doctorate degree conferred on President Buhari is illegal and non sequitur because,” stressing that the “KASU is not among the 22 universities accredited by NUC to award honorary degree.

“KASU was established 10 years ago, and has never graduated a PhD student.
”Section 2.0 subsection (a) of the Council of VCs Keffi declaration 2012, prohibits the award of honorary degrees to persons holding political offices.
The student body demanded that “President Muhammadu Buhari should honourably relinquish the fraudulent
degree.

“That NUC should with immediate effect sanction KASU for contravening its rules and regulations.
“That Academic Staff of Universities (ASUU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) should sanction the entire management team of KASU for making a mockery of Nigerian universities.”

NANS urged Buhari to desist from procuring fraudulent degrees and focus on governance because, our country is faced with terrorism, economic hardship, religious crises and political tension.

Obasanjo lamented the high turnout of university graduates, while available jobs to accommodate them were getting slimmer by the years.
He recalled that since Nigeria had her first university in 1948 and now, the number of universities in the country had increased tremendously with millions of students graduating yearly.
Obasajo said the country had reached the stage where attention had to be focused on job creation to accommodate the large number of graduates that were coming out of universities and other tertiary institutions.
The former president advised the V-C to forge collaboration with other V-Cs for the purpose of wooing foreign investors into the country to expand the economic space.
He commended BSU for its doggedness in sustaining its College of Health Sciences in spite of the many financial challenges, which resulted to graduating its first batch of medical doctors in nine years.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the school was inaugurated by the former president in 2007 during his second tenure.
Receiving the ex-president in his office, Kembe said the visit was "auspicious" coming "barely three weeks after the induction of the first batch of medical doctors from the college.’’
He appealed to the former president to use his influence within government circles to secure funds for the university to build hostels, the senate house and install needed facilities.
