EXPOSED: So Stella Oduah Is Working With A Fake Certificate


Everyday, it is becoming clear that thieves and criminals are holding
top positions in Nigeria...
US College Says It Did Not Award MBA To Stella Oduah As It Has No
Masters Programme
Stella Oduah, Nigeria’s Aviation Minister who is embroiled in a
scandal of towering proportions in the ministry, faces new integrity
questions as her Masters’ degree has been challenged by the United
States school which she claimed awarded the degree to her.
Her resume, presented to Senate as a ministerial nominee in 2011,
indicated she obtained a Master's degree in Business Administration
(MBA) from St. Paul’s College Lawrenceville, Virginia, United States.
But the School's Provost Vice President of Academic Affairs and
Vice President of Institutional Development said in response to
inquiries: “ We don’t offer any graduate programs here.”
Sahara Reporters has learned from the President of the college that it
has never in its 125-year history had a graduate school or graduate
program.
Similarly, the school’s website states: “Saint Paul's College is
accredited by the Commission of Colleges of the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate [bachelor’s] degrees.”
There is no mention of graduate degrees.
“[Oduah] realized very early in life the indispensability of a sound
education in her growth plans in life and therefore pursued her
education with all diligence and sense of purpose,” her documents
claimed, adding that a determination “to have the best education at
the highest level” prompted her stay at the Virginia college in 1983
for the MBA programme.
As her public relations machinery marched on, in December 2012 The
Sun newspaper published an article headlined “Stella Oduah: An
Amazon of transformation,” which lauded her “MBA from St Paul’s
College, Lawrenceville Virginia USA.” The story also praised her for
being an official who brought her “rich educational background to
bear on the aviation sector by automating revenue centers in all the
agencies and parastatals to boost their revenue profile and enhance
transparency and accountability in the system.”
Oduah’s new certificate questions are certain to feed into national
concern about her credibility as an elected official, but also about
Jonathan’s credibility, and about the nation’s security apparatus
which verifies official documents offered to the Senate for official
nominations.
If Mrs. Oduah deliberately deceived the Senate, it remains to be seen
if the Upper Legislative House will be sufficiently motivated to take up
the matter appropriately.
Afterall, Jonathan is yet to reveal the findings of the panel he set up
to investigate Stella Oduah's cars scandal.
