The memo added: “She is to oversee the activities of the institute pending the appointment of a substantive director-general and chief executive officer.

“Please accord her all necessary support towards the achievement of the mandates of the institute.”

57-year-old Igwe, had for 18 years claimed to have a PhD from Universite d’Abomey Calavi, Benin Republic.

He was appointed acting DG of the institute in May 2019.

Meanwhile, according to FIIRO law, no officer can rise above the level of a principal research officer without a PhD.

It was later discovered that he had been using an attestation letter in place of a certificate for his appraisals and evaluations.
