July 31, (THEWILL) – Controversial businessman, Jimoh Ibrahim has bagged a doctorate degree from the University of Cambridge. He received a PhD in Management Science from the prestigious university.
Jimoh, who has made several attempts to govern Ondo State and failed, beamed with pride as he graduated alongside other graduands from other departments at a ceremony that took place at the University Senate. Sharing in his joy were Nigeria High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Sarafadeen Tunji and the Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu who thought it expedient to attend having received over 20 campaign vehicles from Jimoh two months to the governorship election in the state where he was seeking a second tenure.
This latest achievement makes it a total of nine degrees Jimoh now has in his kitty. A graduate of law from the University of Ife, he acquired his other degrees from Oxford and Harvard Universities. An author of three books, the serial entrepreneur’s academic success has unfortunately not translated to the several businesses he ran at different times in his life. From aviation, to publishing to insurance to hospitality, to banking and oil and gas – any business he lays his hands on seems to be on cue to go down.
