Senator Dino Melaye moments ago shared a copy of his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Certificate. The document states that he started the programme on 9th July 2000 and finished on 8th July 2001.
It will be recalled on Monday thatthe Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Ibrahim Garba, affirmed that Senator Melaye graduated from the institution with a 3rd class in Geography in the year 2000.
However, fact checks by BlackBox Nigeria, revealed that Senator Dino claimed to have commenced his NYSC on Sunday, July 9, 2000 and finished Sunday, July 8, 2001, dates which seems to be unusual practice of the scheme.
This does not also correspond with the initial image released by Senator Dino that he served in 1999.
More details shortly…
