The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has denied reports by some online media platforms (not Nigerian Bulletin) claiming that the body mocked Nigeria's finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun for a mathematical gaffe during a press conference.



SUN Newspaper reports that a statement signed by Abiodun Aduloju, the council’s head of public affairs, he described the report as false and malicious, and said such unruly conduct was not in the character of Dr. Uwadiae.

“The online publication is worrisome and embarrassing to WAEC, as the registrar did not make the statement credited to him and could not have responded as purported to an allegation in which the name of his organisation was not mentioned. The registrar does not reside in Nigeria and has not granted a press interview or engaged in an informal chat with any Nigerian media representative or authorised anyone to speak on his behalf concerning the minister’s statement.

''Dr. Uwadiae is an experienced public personality seasoned diplomat, who holds sacrosanct the entrenched culture of mutual understanding and respect that exists among all operatives and representatives of the governments of the five member countries of the council.”
