Cambridge University provides more details on Buhari’s WASC results
January 28, 2015Sani Tukur
The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, UCLES, now Cambridge Assessment, has provided further details on the West African School Certificate, WASC, results presented by Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Candidate in the February 14 presidential election.


In a new post on its website, the university confirmed result grades for the examination in 1961 were issued in numbers, not letters, as suggested by critics of Mr. Buhari who have dismissed the results he presented as fabricated.

According to Cambridge, “Examination results were classed in grades from 1 to 9”.

“1, 2,3,4,5 & 6 indicate a Pass with Credit; 7 & 8 indicate a Pass; 9 indicate a Failure,” the school said.

Results tendered by Mr. Buhari shows he had credits in English Language, Geography, Health Science, Hausa Language; failed in Mathematics and Woodwork, and had a pass in Literature in English.


In its post, Cambridge said for candidates to qualify for its certificate in 1961, they needed to pass English, and not necessarily Mathematics.

“To pass the School Certificate, candidates had to pass examinations in a variety of groups. It was compulsory to pass English Language, but not Maths, in order to gain the Certificate,” the university said.

The details followed intense controversy over whether Mr. Buhari, a former Head of State and retired Army General, completed his secondary education.

The Nigerian constitution requires any candidate running for the office of the President to have at least the Senior Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent.

Police Vs Adeleke: Atiku tackles Buhari
The ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the campaign office of President Goodluck Jonathan accuse Mr. Buhari of lacking the requisite qualification for the office of the president.

Mr. Buhari, who ran for president in 2003, 2007 and 2011, repeatedly declared that copies of his academic records were with the military.

The former head of state also said original copies of his credentials were lost when his house was raided when he was in detention during the administration of Ibrahim Babangida who toppled his regime.


The Army at first said it had copies of Mr. Buhari’s results, but backtracked later, saying it had only a letter of recommendation from his principal at Katsina Provincial College, result grades without either the statement or certificate.

Responding, Mr. Buhari expressed surprise that the military could claim not to have his results, and insisted that he indeed completed high school and passed at Division Two level.

PREMIUM TIMES later exclusively published copies of Mr. Buhari’s WASC results as well as a master list containing the results of some of his classmates, obtained from his former secondary school, now Government College, Katsina.


But after the publication of the Statement of Results, some Nigerians, including President Jonathan and the PDP, dismissed the results as forged.

One of the allegations said Hausa language was not part of the Cambridge exams in 1961.

Another said Mr. Buhari’s results that year were recorded in alphabets, not in letters as Mr. Buhari claimed.

While Cambridge has declined to categorically confirm Mr. Buhari’s results, saying only the APC candidate could request or authorize such disclosure, the school posted a response to enquiries on the matter on their website authenticating some of the claims in Mr. Buhari’s result.


The University confirmed that according to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa, were set for the West African School Certificate.

It also put the number of candidates who sat for the WASC Hausa examination in 1961 at 152.

“Our records show that Hausa was set in the Northern Region in 1961,” Cambridge said.

The university also confirmed result grades in 1961 were issued in numbers, not letters,

It's now I know that majority of nairalanders are brain dead, they just comment without reasoning at all. It's a very big shame

u said it all

Butterflyleo:


You can do that on his behalf.

Infact anyone can do that on his behalf after all the result is now in the public domain released by the FG.

Why not do us all a favour and write to waec for confirmation then let us know their reply. Remember that his exam number, center number and candidate number have already been provided for easy tracing.

Help us write abeg

WAEC SAYS[b] ONLY THE CANDIDATE CAN REQUEST FOR HIS RESULT[/b]

Cc Pachukwudi44

WHAT IS THIS THRASH? WHERE IS THE CONFIRMATION THAT CANDIDATE MUHAMMADU BUHARI WITH NO ..... WROTE THE 1962 WAEC EXAMS?

karlboss:


Didn't you also notice that buhari scored A1 in Igbo language.

Look at the picture sef.
If someone that finished secondary school can believe this is actually buhari waec result, then there is no hope for Nigeria

Your brain needs to be donated to science so they can study the levels of stupidity found in it.

That was a current replacement result for the one he lost. Did you expect them to use his old or new picture for it?

Did you expect them to not use Katsina state which is the new location of the school after Katsina was created?

How old are you?

PaChukwudi44:


what is so difficult in him asking waec or Cambridge to confirm the result he presented? We don't need to see his certificate ,all weask is the he write to waec to confirm that those results are genuine.What was 12 SANs including the hypocrite falana doing in court?

Premium Times, who exposed Adeosun to the delight of you PDP sycophants, also did the investigation on Buhari's certificate for you, but you refused to see because of your hatred for the man!

Here:

All I read here is people comparing mediocrity we ain’t getting it right soon in this country.. the elites has succeeded in their divide and conquer tactics

PaChukwudi44:


enough of this rubbish you have been ranting here.Do you think you are dealling with fools? WAEC has confirmed that Adeleke wrote the 1981 exams.We also need WAEC to confirm Buhari wrote the 1962 exams to put the matter at rest.

That has already been confirmed by Cambridge which was the governing body for exams in Buharis time

1, Dont mention WAEC because there was no WAEC in 1961.

2, Cambridge confirmed on their website that he sat for their exam in 1961.

3, His school issued a statement of result as replacement for the lost certificate and Cambridge never denied that the grades were not from them. Do you think Cambridge will keep quiet and not put up a disclaimer if a fake result is published as a result from them?

Guys, I'm personally disappointed in Buhari's government, but this certificate issue is no issue at all. It is a simple matter only the challenged find difficult to grasp.

IT WAS NEVER CONFIRMED BY CAMBRIDGE.YOU MUST BE A BORN LIAR.SHOW US THE LLINK HERE

uniqueboi:
The Constitution says you must have .... Did it say you must pass? Help me understand pls.

If you're a lawyer or lawyer in embryo, you'll be like all these quack lawyers we have outside there. I think if you read the headline very well, you'd know that this one did not even have the result at all. Someone has f9 in the subject he sat for and missed out the remaining papers. So what kind of nonsense are you celebrating?�

Wiseandtrue:

so he actually sat for the exam

It is now obvious that that IGP and Magu is not competent and are mere foot soldiers for Buhari and APC

They cannot even conduct a sound investigation which happens to be their job

Harassing innocent people upandan all to discredit the opponents

Shame on them!

Can this people now carry out their duty especially during the elections without aiding and abetting the APC

Your guess is as good as mine

What is this one saying .
The fresh case was never about his wave certificate.
It’s about the Neco he registered for in 2017 .
Read! Una no go hear

God of Mercy! Whereas someone that had 7 As, 1c and 1Pass in 1993, Graduated with 2:1 in 2000 but still looking for job

WAEC succeeded cambrige and has custody of all Cambridge's results.

There was never a time cambrige confirmed his results.You must very adept at lying.Kindly show us the link or any verifiable news source where Cambridge did confirm Buhari sat and passed as indicated in the statement of result he presented

Was it a forged certificate? (like that of Min. of Finance)

Kingosytex:
He scored f9 in english, this means that he actually went to a sec school and sat for the wassce unlike the illiterate cattle rearer from daura who provided nepa bills and bread labels as his cert

If that is the actual result he submitted to INEC,then no problems, but if not, wahala deyoo.

GBAM

Where's Buhari's certificate. He will rather assemble 30 SANs to defend him. Lol

In all what i noticed is that APC, as a party are afraid of losing to this man.

W have leaders with zero certificates and youth with certificates r roaming the street

the court has already ruled two weeks ago that Sen Adeleke was qualified to contest the elections having been educated to secondary school certificate level(constitution did not mention he must have a certificate)

Stop the insult
He lost Cambridge certificate and also lost waec certificate is he that careless.
If it's a true waec result that picture should Not used
Where is waec watermark on the results I have seen older results bearing it.

OHCOMEON:

That was exactly the same result he submitted to INEC

can you see Nigeria!

Ah! Senator Ajobiewe.. See ur life.. Unseriousness has been running in ur veins for a very longtime.

Butterflyleo:
He sat for one subject and scored f9 in it and ran away from sitting for the rest.

He later ends up in US, then claims he got a degree in criminology from Jackson University, the university denied him and said he enrolled but never graduated.

He then went and forged his age claiming he was born in 1997 so he can sit for NECO last year but was caught and arrested. In his statement he admitted to being 57 years old which means he was born in 1960 despite his NECO details claiming he was born in 1997.

This guy has issues of fraudulent activities littered around him

yet u see educated unemployed still supporting him on nairaland

Sorry, Buhari did not write WAEC, he wrote Cambridge, which was the body conducting secondary school leaving exam in Anglophone countries of then.

angelawoko:
What a country... A person who failed WAEC is a sitting Senator, but a chartered accountant is not qualified to be a minister.

really sad

nnachukz:

Where is it? The constitution says "have" even if you made parallel F9 not sat.

What about the Neco exam he registered in 2017? That is the case he has with the police! It was never the waec

How do you expect someone with F9 in mathematics to improve a Nation Economy​.... Nigerians wake up

karlboss:

ALL HE ACTUALLY NEEDS IS NOT EVEN THE CERTIFICATE BUT FOR WAEC OR CAMBRIDGE TO COME OUT JUST LIKE THEY HAVE DONE NOW FOR ADELEKE TO SAY YES BUHARI SAT FOR THE 1962 EXAM WITH XYZ RESULTS.HE CANT DO THAT BECAUSE HE NEVER SAT FOR ANY SUCH EXAMS

Ogbeni, can you go and ask your grandfather whether there was WAEC conducting exams for Nigerian students in 1961?

i didnt know that WAEC can be this proactive. but till date, they've not been able to tell us about BUHARI's result.
