Buhari: Shehu Musa Yar’adua And I Wrote WASCE In 1961



President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he and the late Gen . Shehu Musa Yar’ Adua were classmates at both the primary and secondary schools , noting that they both joined the Army after the completion of their West African School Certificate Examination .

Buhari said that he and the late Gen . Yar ’ Adua wrote the WASCE in 1961.

The President said this as he defended the presentation of his WAEC certificate to him by the West African Examinations Council on Friday.

WAEC Registrar , Dr . Iyi Uwadiae, made the presentation at the President’ s mini conference hall at the Presidential Villa , Abuja on Friday.

Uwadiae, who was accompanied by senior staff of the council, performed the ceremony during a courtesy visit to the State House .

Taking to his verified Twitter handle @ MBuhari after the presentation, Buhari tweeted :
“ Today I received the attestation and confirmation of my 1961 West African School Certificate (WASC ) Examination result from the Registrar of the West African Examinations Council .

“ It was also an opportunity for me to thank WAEC for upholding its integrity over the years.

“ As a Nigerian military officer , it would have been impossible for me to have attended the Defence Services Staff College in India in 1973 , and, after that — in 1979 — the United States Army War College , had I not sat for the WASC examinations , which I did in 1961 .

“ The late Gen . Shehu Musa Yar ’ Adua was my classmate . We spent close to nine years in boarding school , at primary and secondary levels .

“ And from there, after our WASC , we moved to join the Army , where we had to take a military examination as one of the requirements . ”

The President, however , referred to the West African School Certificate Examination (WASCE ) as ‘ WASC’ throughout his post.

WAEC: Why Buhari's Current Passport Pix Appeared On The Attestation Certificate


Why we took result to Villa –WAEC

WAEC, however, said that the media frenzy that trailed its presentation of its certificate to President Buhari at the Villa on Friday was unnecessary.

In a short telephone interview with Saturday Tribune on Friday, the Head of Public Affairs Division of WAEC in Nigeria, Mr Demianus Ojijeogu, said what the body presented to the president was an attestation of result, and not a certificate.

“The Registrar to Council, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, and in company of the Head of National Office of WAEC in Nigeria, Mr Olu Adenipekun, went to the Villa to present not a certificate but an attestation of result.

“When we issue attestation of result, it comes with a passport photograph of the candidate. It’s not a certificate,” he said.

When did the president apply for it?

Saturday Tribune probed further. To this, the WAEC spokesman said what was important was that the president applied, and was issued his attestation of result.

“We can’t be saying he applied yesterday or day before yesterday; the only thing is that he applied, and we must give honour to whom honour is due as the president of the country. There is nothing wrong in that (taking the document to the Villa),” he said.

The photograph on the document issued to the president has also been an object of controversy with many saying that it was incongruous that the Buhari’s 1961 ‘certificate’ would bear the image of an adult Buhari.

But Demianus also explained this.

“When we issue attestation of result, it comes with a photograph the person presented when he was applying for the attestation of result.

“It’s not a certificate; it’s attestation of result. We did that (started issuing attestation of result) because of the rate at which candidates were losing their certificate; since we (WAEC) don’t issue certificate twice.

“So, we issue attestation of result for those who have lost their certificate, or their certificate is damaged or they cannot find it. You can apply for attestation of result. And whatever passport you submitted when you applied for it is what will appear on the attestation of result.”

Fayose Reacts To Presentation Of Buhari's WAEC Certificate
Saturday, November 03, 2018  politics


                         
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has reacted to the presentation of a West African Examination Council (WAEC) certificate to President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso rock on Friday.

Fayose described the development as a "national embarrassment, Akelicious gathered.

The President was presented with an 'Attestation of Result' by a WAEC official on Friday, November 2, 2018.

Fayose took to Twitter on Saturday to express his displeasure. He wrote;

"If it was this easy to get WAEC to issue the "Attestation/Confirmation Certificate, why waiting this long? Why contesting four times without a single certificate? So when will the military produce the credentials that he claimed are with them? Many questions begging for answers.

"My consolation is that (provided they will allow votes to count) Nigerians will have the opportunity of ending this national embarrassment in 4 months time. I have never seen a nation that has been so embarrassed by a mere question of 'Mr President, where are your credentials?'"
