President Tinubu's suit filed by Atiku was dismissed by a Chicago court.

A lawsuit requesting information about President Bola Tinubu's academic record at Chicago State University has been dropped.

Tinubu stated before the 2022 elections that he received a Bachelor of Business Administration with honors from Chicago State University (CSU). Tinubu's degree was confirmed by Beverly Poindexter from the CSU Office of the Registrar, but there were still some questions. Atiku, a contender for president, then started a court action to get these records.

 Atiku dropped the action before the hearing, which led Judge Patrick J. Heneghan to dismiss the matter. He said that "Petitioner's subpoena in this case is withdrawn," putting an end to CSU's involvement.

Tinubu was acknowledged as a prestigious CSU graduate and an important player in the US by Victor Henderson, a renowned commercial litigation attorney in Chicago. Henderson made the following statement in a press release dated August 2, 2023: "Despite Tinubu's prominence, Atiku Abubakar and a few of his supporters have attempted to unlawfully access the President's confidential educational records by filing an improper lawsuit without even the most basic of due processes, let alone the courtesy of asking the President to release his records.
