Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has commenced steps to establish the facts surrounding the academic credentials of one of its professors, Arc. Abdullahi Abubakar, whose extensive list of qualifications has attracted attention within and outside the university community. The University said it was aware of the viral social media publication on the professor’s credentials and would make its stand public after conducting a necessary investigation into the matter. The development followed reports and social media posts highlighting the academic profile of the professor, which reportedly includes five PhDs, five master’s, 7 degrees, 11 diplomas and other academic credentials. The extensive academic profile has generated interest, particularly given the professor’s position at the university and his involvement in teaching, research and other scholarly engagements.
