ABU management responds to allegations of shielding fake certificate's syndicate

The attention of Management of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria has been drawn to another one-sided news item published again by Sahara reporters that "ABU Management Shields Fake Certificates' Syndicate, Sends False Records to NYSC" This was a follow-up to an earlier one-sided story the online media first Published a month ago that a syndicate in the University had been issuing fake degree certificates to fraudulent students, an allegation that the Institution had since dismissed as untrue. The University has further appointed a high-powered committee consisting of Senate members to thoroughly investigate the allegation.

The committee is expected to complete its assignment soon.

The University reiterates that the person (Shafa'atu Abdullahi - U1SPY2014) purported to have been issued a certificate is actually a withdrawn student. It should be noted that Ahmadu Bello University does not ignore such a weighty allegation in line with ensuring that its very high reputation and the highly respected integrity of its certificates are protected.

The Institution's Career Office, a unit responsible for students' mobilization for the NYSC scheme, has confirmed that Shafa'atu Abdullahi was not mobilized for the one-year mandatory National Youth Service as claimed by the online media.

The University is of the belief that the running story is in bad taste, as no attempt was made by the media to contact the Institution for its own comments before going to press
