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.
This 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 in part, “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.
