Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West drew a lot of attention
on Tuesday when he appeared for plenary with academic robe and cap.
The senator whose first degree had come under scrutiny in the
recent past walked in to the red chamber clad in the full academic
regalia and smiling as cameras shut away.
Melaye first degree at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria had come
under question in the last week. Many online reports had it that the
senator did not graduate from the institution like he claimed.
However, the question surrounding his graduation was laid to rest
on Monday when the Vice Chancellor of Abuja, Prof. Ibrahim Garba
confirmed that the senator graduated from the University.
Prof. Garba told the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and
Public petitions that Melaye graduated in year 2000 as Daniel Jonah
Melaye.
He added that the Senator graduated with a third class degree in Geography.
Hours after the confirmation by the VC, a video went viral where
the senator was dancing and singing in yoruba language celebrating the
turn of event.
On Tuesday however, the Senator appears for plenary dressed in the
regalia and went round the chamber to exchange pleasantries with all the
Senators present.
