Controversial Figure Tinuade Sanda Under Scrutiny for Postgraduate Degree Fraud

The corporate world has been rocked by the recent saga surrounding Tinuade Sanda, the former Managing Director and CEO of a major electricity company in southwestern Nigeria. Now, her credentials and qualifications are under intense scrutiny, with serious questions arising about the validity of her claimed postgraduate degrees from foreign universities.

Sanda, who joined the electricity firm in 2013, previously claimed to have headed the Finance and Administration department at Vanguard Energy Resources, a non-operational oil and gas trading company founded by her ex-husband.

In addition to her corporate position, Sanda is also the founder of EmHERging, a mentoring platform for young female professionals. However, doubts have been raised about her educational background. Sanda claims on her resume and LinkedIn profile that she obtained an MBA specializing in Strategic Planning from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. However, investigations have revealed that the university does not offer any MBA program in Strategic Planning.

Furthermore, Sanda asserts that she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Sciences (“BASc”) from Harvard Business School. This is highly questionable, as Harvard Business School does not award undergraduate degrees.

Most concerning is her alleged Doctor of Philosophy in Financial Management and Entrepreneurship, supposedly awarded by ICON University in the Republic of Benin on December 5th, 2020. ICON University claims recognition by a non-existent “Nigeria’s Ministry of Higher Education,” bringing the authenticity of the degree into doubt.

These revelations cast a dark shadow over Sanda’s corporate rise, as she reached the pinnacle of one of Nigeria’s largest electricity distribution companies based on these potentially dubious qualifications. This raises serious questions about the thoroughness of the vetting and due diligence conducted on her credentials by those responsible for her appointment.

Even more alarming is Sanda’s affiliation with ICON University, a reputed provider of fake academic credentials. The university’s website raises credibility concerns due to poor grammar and inflated claims comparing itself to Ivy League institutions.

The audacity with which Sanda flaunts these qualifications on her CV and LinkedIn profile raises significant doubts about her character and personal integrity.

Adding to the controversy, a November 2nd, 2022 letter from Nigeria’s Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) to the electricity distribution company raised concerns about Sanda’s lack of technical capacity, administrative competence, and emotional maturity to run the company’s affairs.

If Sanda’s claims regarding her educational certificates are proven false, it paints a vivid picture of an individual desperate to acquire corporate status by any means, including lying and forgery.

In light of the unfolding scandal, it is essential for Sanda to disclose the true nature of her educational qualifications, not just to salvage her corporate reputation but also to maintain integrity as a mentor to young aspiring girls.

While proclaiming to have shattered the corporate glass ceiling through hard work, intellect, and integrity, Sanda’s questionable qualifications and attempt to discredit institutions like Harvard Business School tarnishes the class she claims to represent. Individuals like her should never be allowed near reputable organizations that value talent and quality.

The scandal raises fundamental questions about regulatory oversight and corporate governance, which enabled Sanda’s ascent despite the apparent inauthenticity of her credentials.

To uphold standards and integrity in executive appointments, stronger verification mechanisms must be implemented to promote merit while preventing fraudsters from undermining institutional reputation.

The unfolding saga surrounding Tinuade Sanda serves as a cautionary tale, underscoring the significance of ethical conduct, honesty, and accountability in corporate leadership. As the dust settles on her tenure at the electricity company, this episode should prompt a broader reflection on the integrity and credibility expected from individuals entrusted with critical roles in the business landscape.
