The Chicago State University has confirmed that presidential aspirant Bola Ahmed Tinubu is indeed an alumni of the University.
This is coming after a request was made to confirm if the former governor attended the tertiary institution.
The Punch reported that Beverly Poindexter, who is in charge of the university’s official transcript requests, enrolment and degree verification at the Office of the Registrar, CSU, confirmed that Tinubu was a graduate of the University in an email response to its request on Tuesday, January 25.
