Two major flaws have been detected by News Punch in the just flaunted National Service Youth Corps, NYSC Certificate by the embattled Senator, representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, that suggest the certificate may be FAKE after all.
In a bid to prove his graduate status of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Senator Melaye this morning shared his National Service Youth Corps Certificate on his tweeter handle @dino_melaye.
In the shared NYSC certificate, it was indicated that the embattled Senator concluded his compulsory NYSC in 2001

However, in-depth critical analyses of the certificate revealed that it was issued on 8th July 2001, which was no doubt on Sunday, a non-working day, which official documents are not issued
Apart from the above flaw, the certificate number quoted as MD/ABU/99/113459; the "99" in the certificate number signifies the year of completion of the NYSC Service and issuance, 1999; this also contradict the Date of issuance on the same certificate which is said to be issued on the 8th July 2001
The senator representing Kogi West has been under fire in the past week, as critics allege that he did not earn an academic degree from the ABU as claimed.
In his defence, the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Ibrahim Garba, had deposed before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on Monday that Melaye earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Geography from ABU, with a Third Class.
