My Bachelors, Masters Degrees Certificates Got Burnt In Fire Incident – Sambo Tells INEC

Ahead of the 2015 general elections, Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo has told the Independent National Electoral Commission that his Bachelors and Masters degrees certificates in Architecture obtained from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, have been consumed by fire.

Sambo, who is the running mate to President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, made the declaration in the documents he filed with INEC and displayed at the commission’s office in Abuja, although the details of the fire disaster that consumed the documents were not stated.

Sambo’s papers were received and stamped in INEC headquarters between December 10 and 18, 2014.

The VP’s declaration was validated by two letters from the authorities at the A.B.U Zaria.

The first letter, signed by one Alhassan Garba for the institution’s registrar under the title, “To Whom it may Concern: Mohammed Namani Sambo”, read, “I certify that the above-named person having completed an approved course of study and passed the prescribed examinations was awarded the Bachelor of Science (Architecture) with Second Class Honours (Lower Division) in 1976 by the Senate of this University. His original certificate got burnt. Please treat his case in view of this certification. Thank you”.

The second letter, also signed by Garba for the registrar of the institution read, “I certify that the above-named person having completed an approved course of study and passed the prescribed examinations was awarded the Master of Science (Architecture) on May 25, 1978 by the Senate of this University. His original certificate got burnt. Please treat his case in view of this certification. Thank you”.
