The publication of President Bola Tinubu's nomination papers for the 2027 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has revived debate over his educational qualifications. The controversy arose after INEC published the nomination forms and supporting credentials of presidential and vice-presidential candidates in line with the timetable for the 2027 general election.

A review of Tinubu's EC9 nomination form showed that the President listed only a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Chicago State University in the educational qualifications section, leaving the spaces for his primary and secondary school qualifications blank.

The development has generated fresh political reactions, with some opposition figures questioning the omission and calling for explanations from both the President and INEC. Others maintain that issues surrounding the President's educational qualifications have previously been considered and resolved by the courts.
