It further explained that the name of Mrs Chinwe Umerie, mentioned in the reports, has no link to Mrs Soludo either in personal or official terms. The government stressed that the awarding of honorary degrees at the institution is solely the responsibility of the university’s Senate and Governing Council.
Officials described the report as politically motivated and urged the public to disregard it, insisting that the First Lady remains committed to her role as a promoter of social values and community development in the state.
