The University of Port Harcourt, has debunked rumors that President Jonathan did not finish his Ph.D thesis in the institution. The university said the rumors were baseless. The University’s Deputy Registrar (Information), Dr. William Wodi, in a statement, said, “The authorities of the University of Port Harcourt are aware of rumours that are now spreading like harmattan fire over the doctoral degree status of President Goodluck Jonathan. “The allegations have neither legs nor grounds to stand on and we hope that its purveyors will now rest in silence. “For the avoidance of doubt, the authorities of the University wish to state without equivocation that Mr. Goodluck Jonathan, as he then was, was among 422 students, who matriculated in 1977. He was admitted into the then Department of Zoology, now Animal and Environmental Biology in the then School of Biological Sciences, now a Faculty in the new College of Natural and Applied Sciences.
