The Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi, has demoted a former acting director-general of the agency, Chima Igwe.
learnt that Igwe had been asked to revert to principal research officer, the position he held before claiming to have bagged a doctorate from the Universite d’Abomey-Calavi, Benin Republic, over 18 years ago.
However, he could only produce an attestation document for the PhD. The document was signed by his supervisor, Prof. Mansour Moudachirou. While the ICPC delayed in releasing its report, our correspondent investigated and reported that Igwe had not completed the doctoral programme. Our correspondent reported that in February 2020, the embattled Igwe returned to Benin Republic to defend his thesis before a panel, which included his ally and a FIIRO officer, Dr Ahmed Aroke.
