The University of Melbourne, Australia and the University of Helsinki, Finland have dismissed claims that Nigerian lecturer, Dr Chidi Ugwu fraudulently won a fellowship award at Harvard University.Ugwu is a lecturer at the University of Nigeria , Nsukka, but currently a guest lecturer at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, a research institute in Carlton, Australia, under the University of Melbourne.
Born in 1975, Ugwu graduated from the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at UNN in 2006 and was awarded his doctorate from the same school in 2016, SaharaReporters learnt.Meanwhile, SaharaReporters had reported claims that Ugwu falsified a diploma certificate from the University of Helsinki to win the fellowship at Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University .
Photos purportedly showing correspondence between a source and the schools had also claimed Ugwu’s records could not be found in the systems of the respective schools.But when SaharaReporters got in touch by email with Professor Elina Oinas, who signed Ugwu’s diploma certificate on behalf of the consortium in charge of the programme, she confirmed signing the certificate, along with its genuineness.
Information on the Institute’s website, however, says, “Each application we receive is reviewed in a two-tiered process–first by experts in the relevant field, then by a multidisciplinary committee charged with selecting a diverse class of fellows of the highest achievement and potential.
