The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, now known as Cambridge Assessment, has said it can only release the certificate of President Muhammadu Buhari if he so requests.


Cambridge, a United Kingdom-based examination body, which oversaw the conduct of final year secondary school examination in Nigeria and placement into foreign universities in the early days of colonialism and years after, said this on Monday in a statement on its website.

The “Statement in response to Nigerian Presidential election enquiries”, read: “We can only confirm or verify results at the direct request of or with the permission of a candidate.


“This is in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations, Data Protection Act 2018 and section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.”

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

In a footnote, Cambridge also said: “Examination results were classed in grades by 1 to 9. 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 indicate a Pass with Credit; 7 & 8 indicate a Pass; 9 indicates a Failure.


“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 number of candidates who sat for the WASC Hausa examination in 1961 was 152.

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

Buhari on Friday received the attestation and confirmation of his 1961 West African School Certificate (WASC) Examination.

The documents were presented to him at State House during a courtesy visit by a delegation of WAEC led by its Registrar, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, accompanied by Olutise Adenipekun, Head, National Office, Abiodun Aduloju, Head Public Affairs, and Olufemi Oke, Zonal Coordinator, Abuja.

[s]When WAEC joins the bandwagon of lying shamelessly, then Nigeria's academic credibility has become a bull- shit. How can WAEC issue an attestation cert to Buhari for an exam he claims he took in 1961 when the exam was administered in 1961 by the university of cambridge England? Even upto 1970, and after, if you don't have Grade 1, 2, or 3, then u completely failed WASC,, and no cert is issued to u. Now WAEC issued a 1961 WASC cert to Buhari without showing whether he passed with Grade 1, 2, or 3 as was the only criterion that time. I declare that attestation cert FAKE. for two reasons. First, the University of Cambridge is the correct body to issue such cert as the body that administered the exam in 1961. Secondly a 1961 WASC or Cambridge school cert without showing Grade 1, 2, or 3, is forgery which is tantamount to criminal offence of examination malpractice. This is liable. And for WAEC to involve itself in this type of ridiculing Nigeria before the whole world is abominable. How many times have I said it that I am no longer proud to be a Nigerian? Look at what WAEC has the courage and face to present to the world about our president, just because Nigeria has no shame. Why should it be the principal of Buhari's secondary school that told the Nigerian army that Buhari was qualified to go for the cadet officer course? Was there no entry requirement then or was the NDA for all and sundry? I want to hear what educated people like Tinubu, Omorocha, Prof Osinbajo and others in APC have to say about this shameful act of WAEC and Buhari's sec. Such. Cert. If they continue to keep mute on such a crucial explosive national issue, then I know that nigeria is truly doomed[/s]

WAEC forged its own document and then presented it to the President publicly through the registrar who is the head of WAEC council. Hope you are now happy?

Since you people have decided you won't reason logically again, it's better we all agree with your silly conclusion so that we can all rest.

Some of you think the readers of your posts will be as dumb as your posts.

PDP or whoever is making the president certificate an isue doesn't know how to play opposition politics at all.
Are the opposition politicians thinking the president would resign or quit his second term ambition because they believe his certificate is not geniune? You couldn' stop him from contesting in 2015 with this same allegation and you think it's posible now that he has all the power? PDP is not serious.
It keeps making everything easy for the incumbent government.
