President Bola Tinubu omitted his primary and secondary school education details from the personal documents filed with the Independent National Electoral Commission for the upcoming 2027 presidential race. These records were released by the commission on Saturday as part of its official 2027 election schedule.
An examination of the EC9 nomination paperwork reveals that the President cited only his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Chicago State University, earned in 1979. The specific fields designated for elementary and high school credentials remained empty. Nevertheless, he included copies of his university diploma and his National Youth Service Corps certificate with his submission.
In the filing, President Tinubu recorded his birth date as March 29, 1952, in Lagos and identified his profession as a politician. His employment history highlights his tenure at Mobil Nigeria Limited from 1983 to 1992, followed by his time as Governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007. He identified the Federal Government of Nigeria as his current employer, a position he has held since 2023, while confirming he has no history of dismissal from public service.
