In the affidavit, the institution told a court in Chicago:
”Chicago State University provided a Diploma to Bola Ahmed Tinubu and subsequently provided a certified copy of that Diploma. Both are valid and authentic Diplomas of the Chicago State University.”
According to the affidavit, certain differences existed between the diploma and certified copy. This was because the current President/Board Chairman signs all diplomas.
It also explained that the font and seal on the diploma have differences because the institution updated its seal and font after it issued its diploma.
