Trinity International University of Ambassadors (TIUA) has denied awarding Degrees to the renowned Ghanaian UK-based musician, Sonnie Badu in a four-month period.
“Our institution prides itself in the quality of education tailored for each of our students i.e. including their extensive body of work in ministry. Therefore, no student can obtain any major degrees including a PhD in four months.
“TIUA did not issue any earned degrees to a student in a four-month period. Every earned degree acquired, must be obtained through hard work and with the time prescribed by the University.”
“Therefore, any degree that has been earned by our students (Including Dr. Sonnie Badu), are in alignment with the State of Georgia religious exemption authority to receive degrees from associates to doctoral degrees. Our institution prides itself in the quality of education tailored for each of our students i.e. including their extensive body of work in ministry. Therefore, no student cannot obtain any major degrees including a PhD in four months. TIUA did not issue any earned degrees to a student in a four-month period. Every earned degree acquired, must be obtained through hard work and with the time prescribed by the University,” the statement stressed.
The statement by the TIUA comes on the back of the backlash Sonnie Badu received after he claimed that he has been awarded three degrees in a space of four months.
Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Political Science Department, Prof. Ransford Gyampo described as an absurdity Sonnie Badu’s claim of acquiring three separate degrees in four months.
“PhD enterprise has no room for miracles; God does miracles but not PhD miracles,” Prof. Gyampo said on Starr Chat on Wednesday.
The celebrated musician had said that apart from his two honorary doctorate degrees, he also has a Ph.D., a master’s degree, and a bachelor’s degree.
