Nigeria's Peter Obi demands release of academic records amid FOI suit

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has publicly asked the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) and other institutions to release his academic records, following a Freedom of Information lawsuit by a former party spokesperson alleging UNN refused to provide a certified copy of Obi's 1984 Bachelor of Arts certificate. The request is part of an ongoing political dispute over Obi's qualifications, with the outcome potentially affecting his political standing ahead of future elections. The claim of refusal is asserted by the plaintiff; UNN's response is not yet detailed.
