The European American University (EAU) registered in Paris, France has denied awarding any honorary doctorate to Hausa musician Dauda Rarara Kahutu.
Kahatu well known for praise singing President Bola Tinubu and his party the All-Progressives Congress was decorated with the “honoury degree” last weekend in Abuja. The ceremony took place at the Nicon Luxury Hotel. But according to the EAU it was a fraudulent event.
In a statement on its website, EAU said “European American University has not conferred any honorary doctorate degrees upon Dauda Kahutu Rarara, Alhaji Ahmed Saleh jnr., Mustapha Abdullahi Bujawa and Tarela Boroh. All holders of degrees from the University are listed in the Register of Graduates at https://europeanamerican.university/about/register-of-graduates These individuals are not honorands of the University and have no legitimate connection with us.
“The name of Musari Audu Isyaku is cited as “Northern Nigeria representative of the institution”. This person has no authority to represent European American University and this statement is false.”
The university said it plans to contact Nigerian authorities to pursue legal action against the organisers of the fake convocation to prevent further issuance of false certificates.
