Respectfully Chicago State University (CSU) has officially confirmed three core facts about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s academic history, based on multiple verified statements, affidavits, and court‑released documents.

Below is a clear, sourced breakdown of what CSU itself has confirmed — not rumors, not political claims.

CSU confirmed Tinubu attended the university
CSU stated directly that Bola A. Tinubu was a student at the university.

A CSU official (Beverly Poindexter) confirmed he attended between 1977 and 1979.

A 1999 letter from the Registrar also confirmed his enrollment during those years.

CSU confirmed Tinubu graduated in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree
The university has repeatedly affirmed that Tinubu graduated on June 22, 1979, earning a Bachelor of Science in Business and Administration (Accounting).

CSU reiterated this in a 2023 statement to CBS News.

The 1999 Registrar letter also confirms the degree and graduation date.

CSU confirmed the diploma Tinubu submitted to INEC is valid
In a sworn affidavit filed in a U.S. court, CSU stated:

“Chicago State University provided a Diploma to Bola Ahmed Tinubu and subsequently provided a certified copy of that Diploma. Both are valid and authentic Diplomas of the Chicago State University.

CSU also explained why the diploma and certified true copy look different:

Diplomas are signed by the current university president/board chair.

Fonts and seals change over time.

Some dates are typed manually and can contain human error.

CSU acknowledged contradictions in older records but maintained Tinubu graduated. In a separate court proceeding, CSU’s lawyer confirmed that:

Some older records e.g., a transcript from a feeder college contained gender inconsistencies female

CSU could not explain these contradictions but maintained that Tinubu is the person who attended and graduated.

This does not mean CSU said his certificate was forged — only that some archival documents were inconsistent.

Bottom line: What CSU officially confirmed
Tinubu attended CSU (1977–1979).

Tinubu graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1979.

CSU issued his diploma and confirmed the version submitted to INEC is authentic.

Some older records contain inconsistencies, but CSU still affirms he is the legitimate graduate.

These are the university’s own verified statements, not political interpretations.
