President Bola Tinubu did not include his primary and secondary school qualifications in the educational qualifications section of the personal particulars he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the 2027 presidential election.
The documents, published by INEC on Saturday in line with its revised timetable for the 2027 general election, contain the nomination forms and supporting credentials of presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
A review of Tinubu’s EC9 nomination form showed that the President listed only a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Business Administration obtained from Chicago State University in 1979 under the educational qualifications section.
The sections designated for his primary and secondary school qualifications were left blank.
However, Tinubu attached copies of his Bachelor of Science degree certificate from Chicago State University and his National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, discharge certificate to his nomination papers.
In the form, Tinubu stated that he was born on March 29, 1952, in Lagos and described his occupation as “Politician.”
He also declared that he worked at Mobil Nigeria Limited between 1983 and 1992 before serving as Governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007.
The President listed his current employer as the Federal Government of Nigeria, where he has served since 2023, and stated that he had never been dismissed from the public service.
