By a Reader:
As an ABUSITE myself, i browsed the ABU Alumni website (alumni.abu.edu.ng) for curiosity and found that the records of all Alumni of ABU have been captured.
Sahara reporters which reported that Dino Melaye never graduated from ABU suddenly came to mind. So i began an interesting search.
First i checked my name as an Alumni, it was there. I checked my old roomate’s name, it was there. I checked for my departmental friends, all were there except for one whom i know never graduated. I went beyond my department, all names i could think of were there. Finally, i browsed geography department and started with friends and family i knew who graduated from that department, all were there except my late friend who died in 300L. From the results shared by Sahara reporters, Dino used the name Melaye, Daniel Jonah. So i checked for Daniel first, there was nothing like Daniel Melaye or Daniel Jonah. I went to J where i checked Jonah with anything Daniel or Melaye, i didnt find any. Lastly, i went to M where i expected to see Melaye, there was none.
To confirm if old entries were captured, i decided to check my fathers name who graduated from History department in 1978. I was shocked to see my old man’s name.
Dino Melaye’s name was no where in the list. From my understanding, Dino Melaye was a student of ABU for the required 4 years but needed to spillover and write 3 courses to graduate which he might have not done. It is my conviction that Dino Melaye is not a graduate of ABU Zaria unless some new evidence is shown and analysed to prove otherwise.
1. My dad
2. My Dads younger brother
3. My dad’s late cousin brother
4. My mum who only did NCE in ABU (this surprised me most)
5. Myself
I then typed Melaye, the screen shot below says all.
