Lagos State University (LASU), administration has finally addressed the issue surrounding the certificate that was discovered at a 'suya' spot in the state.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the university confirmed that the certificate has been rendered invalid due to an incorrect spelling of the bearer's name.

The university further clarified that the certificate in question does exist, but it was invalidated on February 25, 2013, as the graduate's surname was mistakenly written as ABISOYE instead of ABIOYE.
In an effort to provide more information, the university revealed that the certificate was recovered on November 21, 2018. "The certificate in question exists but was invalidated on February 25, 2013, because the graduate’s surname was incorrectly written as ABISOYE instead of ABIOYE,” the statement read.
LASU, however, confirmed that a new certificate with the correct surname was issued and collected by the graduate on September 30, 2014.

The University mantained that according to its policy, the invalidated certificate should have been destroyed immediately after the re-issuance. However, due to an oversight, it somehow ended up in the public domain. “The invalidated certificate got into the public space due to improper screening of office waste papers prior to disposal,” the statement concluded.
Recall that the certificate belonging to an engineering graduate of the institution sparked a lot of controversy on the internet after a man requested to connect with the bearer because it was used to sell soya to him.
The certificate in question belongs to Abisoye Azeez Oluwaseun, who graduated with Second Class Honours (Upper Division) in Chemical and Polymer Engineering from LASU.
