Dino Melaiye is a Nigerian, Politician, Lawmaker and member of the 8th National Assembly, representing Kogi West.
Senator’s posturing is also reflected on his LinkedIn account and has been previously showcased stated in (an interview with the media)(in media interviews).
The Harvard Kennedy
School of Educational Leadership confirmed that Dino Melaye presented
himself in November 2016 only for a one-week seminar in leadership.
Asked if that qualifies as academic achievement, the respondent said
"No," adding that the seminar also doesn't qualify anyone to become a
Harvard alumnus.
Following a motion
by Senator Ali Ndume asking the Senate’s Ethics and Privileges Committee
to investigate allegations that Melaye didn't properly graduate from
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) in Zaria, Nigeria, Melaye had bragged that he
has at least eight postgraduate degrees.
Mr. Melaye has been caught in a major certificate scandal in which Examination Officers at the Department of Geography, ABU, where Melaye took undergraduate classes, confirmed that he did not graduate from the institution. They went further to say that the documents he presented to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) were manipulated between Melaye and his then Head of Department, Prof. David Ogbonna.
The Examination
Officers pointed out that Mr. Melaye was registered in the university as
"Daniel Jonah O. Melaye," a name they said was neither in the
graduation brochure of ABU when his set graduated, nor found in any
other graduation document. In particular, the Exam officers pointed to
how during his final year, the HOD added 2 course units to boost
Melaye's CGPA.
Mr. Melaye had
reportedly bribed university officials to produce fake transcripts, on
the basis of which he attended a program at the University of Jos, the
University of Abuja, and currently at ABU. Several of Melaye's
classmates and comrades also disputed his claim that he was a Students'
Union Government President at ABU, at best, they stated Melaye was a
president of the National Association of Geography Students (NAGS) from
where he was impeached for fraud.
Another claim that the Senator studied at the London School of Economics could not be verified as of the time of going to press.
