Culled from Sahara Reporters
An original copy of Princess Stella Oduah curriculum vitae obtained
by SaharaReporters today reveals that the embattled Minister of Aviation
never obtained an MBA degree from any university in the United States
as was previously claimed on the official page of Nigeria’s Ministry of
Aviation as well as her biography on Wikipedia.
The CV only makes reference only to the fact that Ms. Oduah possesses
a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from St. Paul’s
College in Lawrenceville, Virginia in 1982.
In the CV, Ms. Oduah also claimed to have an honorary Ph.D degree in
Business Administration from “Pacific Christian University Glendale,
California” in 1998, but SaharaReporters is so far unable to verify that
information.
A preliminary investigation of "Pacific Christian University" shows
it does not exist as one of the 93 accredited theology schools in
California. The nearest result, by name and geography, is "Azusa
Pacific University", which is in Azusa, not Glendale. There is as yet
no information about the status of honorary Ph.Ds at that institution
Mrs. Oduah had carefully padded her qualifications by claiming to
have earned a “Masters Degree in the United States” after completing her
Bachelors. In the edited official profile on the Aviation ministry’s
website, Mrs. Oduah now claims she “received her Bachelors and Masters
Degree (in Accounting and Business Administration respectively) in the
United States.”
The citation does not mention the college where she obtained both
degrees, more so because in the last 24 hours since SaharaReporters
broke the news, Ms. Oduah has made several efforts both on Facebook and
Wikipedia to remove any word linking her to St. Paul’s College, a
historic black college where in previous posts and newspaper reports she
claimed she received a degree.
St. Paul’s College closed down in June 2013.
The new President of the college, Millard D. “Pete” Stith Jr. told
SaharaReporters yesterday that the college is working to confirm if Ms.
Oduah graduated from the college as she claims, stating that the college
registrar had been on leave due to illness. Mr. Stith categorically
reiterated that the college has never offered a Masters’ degree in its
125-year existence.
SaharaReporters has learned that the Minister is working to change
her story line working with her aides from Brazil where she is currently
on vacation.
Since SaharaReporters broke the news about the certificate scam, Ms.
Oduah and her aides have officially kept mum over the revelation.
Instead they have embarked on using Facebook and the comments sections
of various websites into which they sign anonymously to make the
spurious claim that she simply didn't state where she obtained her
Masters degree. They also suggest that she is being targeted because of
her ethnicity.
The Presidency has not commented on the latest scandal.
