NIPSS Issues Certificate To Ribadu

The Federal Government has directed  the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies to immediately issue Certificate of graduation of the institute to Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, former Chairman of Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC)
In a press Statement signed by Ima Niboro, Spokesperson to the Vice President, obtained by the Economic Confidential today, the Federal Government said that it “is concerned about reports that it was involved in the decision to prevent  Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the former Chairman of the EFCC and Mr. Allen  Briggs from participating in the graduation ceremony of NIPSS after successfully completing the Senior Executive Course.
“For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, the Federal Government wishes to affirm that it gave no such directive that Mallam Ribadu or any other person be barred from the NIPSS graduation.
“Consequently, the Presidency has ordered the Institute to immediately award the certificate of participation in Senior Executive Course 30 to him and the other participant who was said to have been absent at the graduation ceremony.
“The Secretary to the Government of the Federation has also been mandated to investigate the circumstances of Mallam Ribadu's removal from the graduation venue and report back to the Vice President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, who oversees the Institute and was at the ceremony.
