Be that as it may, the institution has denied awarding E-Money any doctorate degree. The school in a statement released showed the list of the people conferred with a doctorate degree and E-Money’s name was missing in the list.

“TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

The University of Lagos, #UnilagNigeria , on Thursday, April 4, 2019, at its 50th (2018) Convocation Ceremonies (Day 3), conferred Distinguished & Emeritus Professorship and Honorary Doctorate Degrees on the following eminent personalities:
