He stated, “The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar came here to report that she observed some names appeared on the institution’s list and they ought not to have been there. She checked the list the school gave us and I told her that their certificates would be invalidated.”
Ahmed further revealed that the bread seller was mobilised on the graduation list from the same institution, stressing that there were bad eggs in many places generating matriculation numbers and courses for their candidates.
He said, “Previously, a bread seller was mobilised on the graduation list from the same institution. There are bad eggs in many places that generate matriculation numbers and courses for their candidates.”
