Kemi Adeosun raised some questions about the spendings of the Examination body in a video that trended on Social media yesterday.
In the video, Kemi made mathematical blunder, summing up 16 + 6 = 24..
This raised concern among Nigerians.
Some even questioned her education..

Read below the excerpts of the response..


WAEC Registrar, Dr. Iyi Uwadiae, Replies Kemi Adeosun,


1. “It's not enough to go to the Senate and reel out figures. The minister should know, that what Nigerian students pay to sit for WAEC examinations is simply an operational/management cost, that covers registration, data keeping and management, printing of examination papers, logistics, marking of scripts and production of certificates. And all these cost about N16 billion Naira.


2. “WAEC examination is not designed as a revenue generating source for the Federal Government. In fact governments in the past subsidized the examination fees, just to encourage education. The N6 billion she talked about is for payment of salaries and overheads for staff of the council.


3. “However, we do not know the mathematical formula the Honourable Minister used, when she said the summation of N16 billion Naira and N6 billion Naira was N24 billion Naira.
“I think somebody needs to resit her WAEC mathematics examination. And we in WAEC have offered to give her a free WAEC form in this respect.”


WAEC Registrar - Dr. Iyi Uwadiae



Number 3 na gbagaun!

The third one was very unprofessional.
Education isn't all about grades, but refinement generally.
Even if it was politically motivated, it was out of place: WAEC is non-partisan.

Ishiawoooo

That last point was touche. How can a Finance minister make such gaffe without realising it.

the insult enter o.

Nigerians sharing stuff on here chose not to be angry that billions of our money was being stolen.
It also did not bother them that the monies this exam body collected from them and their children and relations would have been paid for by the Federal Government
No one worried about the depth of the corruption the Minister was talking about.
No one counted the numbers that ran into billions of naira.
What they are bitter about was that a slip of tongue by a qualified accountant gave 16+6 as 24!!!
Can you now understand my analogy of the hunter and the lions?
Who did this to us?
Or is it the case that we have got so used to economic rape that has been our lot over the past several years we can no longer differentiate between what should make us cry and the one we should laugh about and even the one that should send us into sober reflections?
Who did this to us?
Who the demon was so cruel he has turned us to vanity mongers that would rather celebrate the absurd than reflect on what is of value to our today and our future.

I am not surprising, after all her principal got F9 in mathematics even with the result he forged by himself...
I offer to pay for her transport fair to and from the examination centre...



















This Plot of land measuring 400ft by 400ft is not for sale...
Caveat...

If Kemi gaffed with the figures, then response no. 3 from the waec boss is a bigger gaffe
