Alex Ajayi Confirms Issuing WAEC Certificate To Buhari by dpete1: 2:44pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
Alex Ajayi who is a former registrar of the West
African Examination Council (WAEC) has opened
up that he issued certificate to Muhammadu
Buhari in the 60s.
The issue of President Buhari’s certificate caused
a controversy in the run-up to the presidential
election in 2015 and even after he was elected,
petitions have been submitted in court
challenging the legitimacy of Buhari whom many
believe does not possess a WAEC certificate or its
equivalence.
Alex Ajayi confirmed issuing WAEC certificates to
President Buhari
In an interview with The Punch, the 86-year-old
Ajayi who is the first graduate from Adfo-Ekiti put
to rest the controversy sorruonding the
president’s certificate by revealing that apart
from Buhari, he also issued certificates to the late
General Sanni Abacha and General Ibrahim
Badamasi Babangida.
He said: “I joined the West African Examination
Council as a pioneer staff. I was the first
substantive Nigerian Assistant Registrar. I took
over the control of the examination from the
University of Cambridge. I took examiners to
Cambridge for training across 10 years and
trained them in Nigeria. I had the opportunity of
issuing WAEC certificates to three former Heads
of State: Buhari, Abacha and Babangida in the 60s. “When I was in WAEC, I was put on the council of the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in 1966 by the national government of Aguiyi Ironsi. I was put on three important committees. The vice-chancellor and others were interested that I became a full staff of the university which I was not really keen about. But I finally accepted out of pressure. When I was serving on the council of the University of Ife, I was among the three-member committee selected by Chief Obafemi Awolowo as the first chancellor. I was on the council that installed him in 1967. From the early days of my life, I never applied for jobs. I was just invited. “I stayed at the University of Ife before I left for an examination correspondence college as a director and controller producing lectures for professional courses and involved with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, Institute of Insurers and Institute of Bankers. I had the joy of launching these new lecture courses in the universities in Lagos, Ife and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.” |
