Tinubu attended CSU and graduated in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree – Chicago state University verifies

Chicago State University (CSU) has once more verified that President Bola Tinubu indeed attended the university and obtained a bachelor’s degree in 1979.

This confirmation was conveyed in a statement sent to CBS Broadcasting Inc., commonly known as CBS News, on Thursday, September 14.

However, the university clarified that it is legally bound by United States federal law to refrain from disclosing any additional details about Tinubu’s records unless granted consent or authorized to do so through a court order.

“As an educational institution, we are sometimes asked to provide information related to student records. Federal law known as FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) protects the privacy of student records and limits what an institution can release.

In August 2023, a request was made to the U.S. federal court for the university to provide information related to educational records concerning Bola Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, and a former CSU student.

The university has confirmed Tinubu attended CSU and graduated in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree. Federal law, however, prevents us from providing any further information without consent or unless allowed to do so via court order.

CSU is confident in the veracity and integrity of our records regarding Tinubu’s completion of graduation requirements and degree certificate. The university is not a party to the Nigerian legal proceedings that spurred this request, and a U.S. federal judge will determine whether the university will provide further requested information.

Our response to the request for Tinubu’s academic records has been entirely consistent with our practices, policies and federal law. We would respond in exactly the same manner for any request for any student information by a third party.” the statement read
