As people from all walks of life continue to eulogise Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, on the occasion of his 60th birthday, his lawyer, AbdulHakeem Mustapha(SAN), has revealed that the governor has 83 certificates from Havard University.
The senior advocate, who stated this at the birthday reception organised for the governor in Kaduna, said he was shocked the day he saw El-Rufai’s certificates.
He said:”There was a time El-Rufai was dragged to court for not having certificate. And as we are about to get to the court that day, he dropped me in his car and handed me a bulky envelope.
“When I opened the envelope, I discovered he has 83 certificates from Havard. And when I asked him how come? He said, A.U, when my peers were busy buying exotic cars, houses and other luxurious things, this is what I was doing with my money.”

Ahmed Lawan; Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki; Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi; Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Minister of Finance, Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed; All Progressives Congress(APC) National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole; former APC National Chairman; Chief Odigie Oyegun and former Zamfara State Governor, AbdulAziz Yari.
