E-Money of Five Star Music draws the public to confusion after declaring that he has received an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Lagos.

The authorities of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) have released the list of those conferred with honorary degrees and E-Money’s name isn’t included.


TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
The University of Lagos, # 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:

Please note that the University’s official colours are maroon and gold and the personalities who were conferred with these honorary awards by the Chancellor of the University (see pictures) are in the appropriate attire.

It is worthy to note that the afore-mentioned personalities are the only people who were conferred with these awards by the University of Lagos at the 50th Convocation Ceremonies, thus, any story stating otherwise is false and should be amended accordingly.

Thank you.

E-Money who shared photos from the event on social media disclosed that he received an honorary Doctorate Degree in Business Management and Corporate Governance from UNILAG.

However, from statement issued by the University registrar, E-money never received any honorary degree of such from the institution. So where is this coming from?
