The Senate says it is investigating the controversy.

The authorities of ABU had earlier promised to issue a statement on the matter on Wednesday, but failed to do so.

On Thursday, Adamu Mohammed, the director of publicity of the university said the management of the university held a marathon meeting on the issue on Wednesday, but refused to disclose its outcome.

“The management has decided not to address journalists on the alleged certificate issue since a committee has been set up to investigate the matter by the Senate of the Federal Republic Nigeria.

“As such, we will await request by any relevant authority, then we would respond accordingly,” he said.

Mr. Mohammed also said individuals or organization seeking information in respect of any of its student should follow the normal process of officially writing to the university management.
