The PHD was listed as one of his qualifications in the statement by the Presidency announcing his appointment. A BBC feature in January, 2008 had exposed the Irish International University as a bogus institution.
See excerpt from BBC feature:
Bogus university scam uncovered
The bogus Irish International University (IIU), which offers sub-standard and worthless degrees, has been allowed to flourish in the UK - virtually unchecked by the government - for the last seven years. Although the organisation is unaccredited, hundreds of students have been given educational visas to enter Britain and take its exams at private colleges in London.
The IIU, which has 5,000 students worldwide and thousands of graduates, maintains the illusion of a valid education through its elaborate but highly misleading website.
This illusion is enhanced by the university's continued use of Oxford and Cambridge facilities to stage its award ceremonies. After each event photographs appear on the IIU website showing happy students receiving awards at the UK's best seats of learning.
Our investigation took us from London to Dublin, Oxford and finally Monte Carlo in search of those behind the IIU.
