The source said: “The Senate is inviting the authorities of the Universities Dino Melaye said he attended. Specifically, the Senate is inviting Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) to clear the controversy. The truth will be cleared by ABU this week. All the allegations are rubbish, ABU will not offer anybody admission with three credits.”
On its part, Vanguard reports that the Vice Chancellor of ABU Professor Ibrahim Garba will appear before the Senate today, March 27.
ZENITHBLOG.com recalls that the controversy continued over the weekend when Abdussobur Salaam, a schoolmate of the embattled Dino Melaye, at ABU described the travails of the senator as retribution for certain sins committed in the past.
Salaam who now works at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), spoke against the backdrop of the certificate controversy in which the senator is currently embroiled.
“Permit me to make an intervention on the issue of Dino and ABU, having been admitted and ‘graduated’ from ABU same year as Dino. I use the word ‘graduated’, very guardedly and with caution.

“Permit me to say that as at the time we were admitted, Geography Department was under the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS). In our 200 level, the Faculty was split and Geography Department had issues of where to fit in. It was initially placed under Faculty of Arts and later shifted to Faculty of Sciences where it is presently domiciled. The narrative on his certificate could be correct,” Salaam said.
