Authorities of St. Paul’s College in Lawrenceville, Virginia, in the United States have cleared the air on the alleged certificate forgery scandal of Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah.
Online news portal, Sahara Reporters had earlier reported that her acclaimed Masters from the said institution was fake.
The school authorities had on Thursday confirmed that the embattled Minister only bagged a first degree in Business Administration at the institution in 1982, with a major in Accounting.
Confirming the development, St Paul’s registrar, Ms. Helen Jackson, said Ms. Oduah was alumnus of the school. She reiterated however, that the school has never had a postgraduate program as earlier claimed by the Minister.
It would be recalled that SaharaReporters on Monday night broke the news of Oduah’s fake certificate scandal. The news sparked controversy on the blogsphere.
The Minister who is yet to respond to the allegation as at Tuesday, expunged any mention of St. Paul’s College, the institutions where she initially claimed in citations, on Wikipedia and several personal websites that she earned a Masters Degree from.
The Minister has also claimed to have obtained an “honorary Ph.D” from Christian Pacific University in Glendale, California. That claim has equally been found to be false.
The Minister’s claim to an MBA in 1983 also conflicts with the year in which she supposedly served in the National Youth Service Corps.
It was observed that the Ministry of Aviation had since disabled her profile page which claimed she had “Bachelors and Masters Degree (in Accounting and Business Administration respectively) in the United States.
