The Harvard Kennedy School of Educational Leadership confirmed that Dino Melaye presented himself in November 2016 only for a one-week seminar in leadership.

The Examination Officers pointed out that Mr. Melaye was registered in the university as “Daniel Jonah O. Melaye,” a name they said was neither in the graduation brochure of ABU when his set graduated, nor found in any other graduation document.

Mr. Melaye had reportedly bribed university officials to produce fake transcripts, on the basis of which he attended a program at the University of Jos, the University of Abuja, and currently at ABU.
Several of Melaye’s classmates and comrades also disputed his claim that he was a Students’ Union Government President at ABU, at best, they stated Melaye was a president of the National Association of Geography Students (NAGS) from where he was impeached for fraud.
