Peter Obi’s university degree certificate is being questioned online, with some claims that he is displaying a fake document. Two outlets report that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) responds to enquiries about his academic credentials, addressing parts of the dispute.
Legit.ng says UNN confirms Obi’s degree is genuine. It also reports that UNN explains he combined two WAEC results for admission. However, Legit.ng notes that questions remain related to his 1978 GCE record, citing gaps and raising further scrutiny about the older examination details.
Premium Times similarly presents its fact-check based on UNN’s response to its enquiries. The outlet frames the issue as a verification exercise, focusing on what UNN says about the university degree and related documentation. While both sources converge on UNN’s position that the degree itself is genuine and on the existence of an explanation involving WAEC results, they acknowledge that concerns about the earlier GCE timeline and record completeness continue to circulate.
