The University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT has refused to release the doctorate degree records of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Last night PREMIUM TIMES reported that the Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, a Rivers State-based civil society organization, said UNIPORT had declined a Freedom of Information, FOI, request for the doctorate degree records of the President.
The group had written to UNIPORT demanding the title of the president’s doctorate dissertation, year of registration as a doctorate candidate, name of his doctorate supervisor(s), name of his external examiner(s), Comments/reports of the external examiner of the dissertation/thesis, Photocopy of the dissertation/thesis and date of graduation from the university.
In response to the group's request, UNIPORT in a letter wrote; ''The Management of the University has carefully considered your request vis-a-vis the FOI Act. It is my instructions to inform you that your request does not come within the relevant provisions of the FOI Act for its practicability or for the University to provide such details as requested. Details of the Ph.D Degree of President Goodluck Jonathan in the University of Port Harcourt cannot therefore be made available to you.
