University Suspends Staff for Forging His Certificate

Cursory: Authorities of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, have suspended an employee, Nwafor Nwesuzor, for allegedly forging his degree and National Youth Service Corps exemption certificate.

Nwafor Nwesuzor, an employee in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, have been suspended for allegedly forging his degree and National Youth Service Corps exemption certificate.

It was disclosed in a press statement issued by the Special Adviser to the Vice Chancellor on Public Relations and Special Duties, Dr Emmanuel Ojukwu, on Thursday.

Ojukwu said the forgery was discovered when Nwesuzor, an administrative staff member, wrote to the university requesting to change his degree result.

Ojukwu announced that Nwesuzor was suspended for six months while his case would undergo other processes before final  action.

The statement read:

“The Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Prof. Charles Esimone, has approved the immediate suspension of Nwafor  Ogbonnaya (Nwafor  Nwesuzor) over allegations of presentation of forged and fake degree result to the university.

“In a bid to secure employment in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nwafor  Ogbonnaya whose real name is Nwafor  Nwesuzor abandoned his undergraduate programme and forged the university statement of result and a letter of exclusion from the National Youth Service Corps.

“He later went ahead to complete his degree programme. The whole scenario emanated when Mr Nwafor Ogbonnaya wrote to the university, requesting to change his degree result.

“The new result he submitted bears different name, Nwafor  Nwesuzor and different class of degree and this resulted in suspicion.

“Upon further investigation, it was discovered that this staff member forged his degree result and letter of exclusion from the NYSC based on the obvious disparity between the documents he submitted originally and the new documents he was trying to substitute.

“The class of degree in both results presented varies, the forged statement of result with the name Nwafor Osborne Ogbonnaya bears second class lower division while the original result with the name Nwafor Ogbonnaya Nwesuzor bears third class.

“In following due process the Vice Chancellor in exercising his powers based on the university rules and regulation approved his immediate suspension from the employment of the university for six months while his case undergoes other processes in the university before final disposal action.”
