Most ridiculous excuses African politicians have given for not having academic certificates

Sheikh I.C. Quaye, Ghana

A one-time regional minster for the capital city of Ghana, Accra, Sheikh I.C. Quaye once told the country’s Vetting Committee of Parliament that all his certificates had been destroyed by a Tsunami. He was, however, unable to specifically indicate exactly where this tsunami happened.

The famous Ghanaian politician had earlier also indicated on his CV to the then Appointments Committee of Parliament, that he was a holder of a Diploma in Management and Journalism, issued by Cambridge.

Additionally, he stated that he was a professional banker from The Institute of Bankers, London. On that same CV, he claimed he was also a product of the Institute of Management Studies, London.

All these claims turned out to be false as he would later contradict his claim of being a banker by explaining that it was because he ever worked at the West Africa Bank and in that process had enrolled for a correspondence course in banking. He never completed that course though.
