Trinity International University of Ambassadors (TIUA) has denied awarding a Degree to renowned UK-based musician, Sonnie Badu in a four-month period.
“…no student cannot obtain any major degrees including a PhD in four months, said TIUA on Friday.
This comes on the back of the backlash Sonnie Badu received after he claimed that he has been awarded three degrees in a space of four months.
Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Political Science Department, Prof. Ransford Gyampo described as an absurdity Sonnie Badu’s claim of acquiring three separate degrees in four months.
“PhD enterprise has no room for miracles; God does miracles but not PhD miracles, Prof. Gyampo said on Starr Chat on Wednesday.
Responding to the allegations, it said in a press release that ‘there is no mandate by federal law for a school, college, or university to be accredited, to be recognized’ and that ‘accreditation is a standard but not a rule.’ It denied issuing four degrees to Sonnie Badu in four months, saying “TIUA did not issue any earned degrees to a student in a four-month period.” The full press statement reads:
“Trinity I.U.A is an accredited member of the World-Wide Accreditation Commission of Christian Education Institutions, and National Association of Private Theological Institutions (NAPTI).
