The Chicago State University (CSU) has locked its official X account amid bombardment over the academic records of President Bola Tinubu.
The ‘protect your posts’ feature on X allows users to conceal their contents from persons who are not followers.
CSU’s decision comes on the heels of a barrage of criticisms from Nigerians over the non-release of Tinubu’s academic records.
Tinubu’s credentials show that he graduated from CSU in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, accounting and management.
However, there have been allegations bordering on discrepancies with Tinubu’s certificate.
Recently, Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), approached a US court for the northern district of Illinois in Chicago, for an order compelling CSU to release the academic records of Tinubu.
The president, through his counsel, had filed a counter application opposing the request for the release of his academic records.
Responding to Atiku’s application, CSU said it will release Tinubu’s records if a US court grants the order.
Amid the legal disputes, many Nigerians took to social media platforms to accuse the US university of conniving with Tinubu to conceal the records.
