6 Facts About President Tinubu’s Documents In Chicago State University 

The main topic of discussion among Nigerians on Monday, October 2, 2023, was the release of President Bola Tinubu’s credentials by Chicago State University. His friends and detractors expressed conflicting views on social media.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who ran against Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, asked a US court to require the institution to provide his legal team access to Tinubu’s credentials.
