Stella Oduah, Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, faces serious integrity questions as her Masters’ degree has been challenged by the United States.
school which she claimed awarded the degree to her.
Her resume, presented to Senate as a ministerial nominee in 2011, indicated she obtained a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) from St. Paul’s College Lawrenceville, Virginia, United States.
But the School's Provost Vice President of Academic Affairs and Vice President of Institutional Development said in response to inquiries: “ We don’t offer any graduate programs here .”
Similarly, the school’s website states: “Saint Paul’s College is accredited by the Commission of Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate [bachelor’s] degrees.” There is no mention of graduate degrees.
The Minister’s documentation shows she received an
undergraduate degree in accounting from the college in 1982, but Dr. Claud Flythe, St. Paul’s current president, could neither confirm nor deny this during a phone conversation with SaharaReporters. Further verification with the Office of Alumni Affairs is also currently impossible, the school said, because the
college has been closed since June 2013 to loss of its
accreditation.
