Embattled Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah Scrambles To Cover Up Certificate Forgery Scandal

Nigeria's Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, who was exposed yesterday for claiming fraudulently that she got an MBA degree from an American University has been busy deleting her records, especially those available in cyberspace the last few years.

Premiumtimes in a report today said Stella and her associates have spent the last several hours scrambling to clean up her biographies on the Internet, following allegations that she lied about her academic qualifications.

Already, Mrs. Oduah's biography on the website of the Ministry of Aviation has been revised, with references to St. Paul's College now wiped out.

"Oduah-Ogiemwonyi received her Bachelors and Masters Degree (in Accounting and Business Administration respectively) in the United States," the new profile said of Mrs. Oduah's education, without any reference to the university she attended.

Even the minister's personal website has been reviewed to remove any reference to St. Paul's College.


SaharaReporters, had Monday night quoted authorities at St. Paul's College, where Mrs. Oduah claimed she studied for Bachelor and Masters degrees, as saying they did not award her an MBA at anytime as the university does not even have a graduate school or graduate programme.

The 52 year old lady, still embroiled in inflated armoured BMW purchase has not reacted to this new scandal.

Premiumtimes said the minister and her aides have revised her profiles on the web. Now, they do not bear any reference to St. Paul's College. The minister returned to revise her Wikipedia page multiple times. The latest revision was done at 4:21 p.m. Nigerian time. A link to an interview she granted Encomium Magazine now leads to a 404 error on that website.

According to Premiumtimes, Mrs. Oduah's biography on the website of the Ministry of Aviation has been revised, with references to St. Paul's College now wiped out. The same revision has also been carried out on wikipedia, the news portal said.


The minister is yet to respond to the allegations. Joe Obi, her special assistant on media, did not answer or return calls.
