‘Why President Buhari’s attestation certificate had his recent passport – WAEC Explains

Why we took result to Villa –WAEC

WAEC, however, said that the media frenzy that trailed its presentation of its certificate to President Buhari at the Villa on Friday was unnecessary.

In a short telephone interview with Saturday Tribune on Friday, the Head of Public Affairs Division of WAEC in Nigeria, Mr Demianus Ojijeogu, said what the body presented to the president was an attestation of result, and not a certificate.

“The Registrar to Council, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, and in company of the Head of National Office of WAEC in Nigeria, Mr Olu Adenipekun, went to the Villa to present not a certificate but an attestation of result.

“When we issue attestation of result, it comes with a passport photograph of the candidate. It’s not a certificate,” he said.

When did the president apply for it?

Saturday Tribune probed further. To this, the WAEC spokesman said what was important was that the president applied, and was issued his attestation of result.

“We can’t be saying he applied yesterday or day before yesterday; the only thing is that he applied, and we must give honour to whom honour is due as the president of the country. There is nothing wrong in that (taking the document to the Villa),” he said.

The photograph on the document issued to the president has also been an object of controversy with many saying that it was incongruous that the Buhari’s 1961 ‘certificate’ would bear the image of an adult Buhari.

But Demianus also explained this.

“When we issue attestation of result, it comes with a photograph the person presented when he was applying for the attestation of result.

“It’s not a certificate; it’s attestation of result. We did that (started issuing attestation of result) because of the rate at which candidates were losing their certificate; since we (WAEC) don’t issue certificate twice.

“So, we issue attestation of result for those who have lost their certificate, or their certificate is damaged or they cannot find it. You can apply for attestation of result. [color=#550000]And whatever passport you submitted when you applied for it is what will appear on the attestation of result.”[color]

Asked in another discussion why it is now that WAEC is giving Buhari attestation of result and not much earlier, he said Buhari didn’t apply for it until now.

On when Buhari collected the original certificate, he said since the examination was a school-based one, the candidate collected it from his school and WAEC would not know when he did so.

In his remarks earlier at the Villa, WAEC Registrar, Uwadiae, said it was possible for candidates to lose their examination certificates through fire or any other unfortunate incident.

“We don’t issue certificates twice but we can issue attestations or duplicate copy of the certificate.

“We also have what we refer to as confirmation; usually, universities were using this in those days when Information Technology was not in vogue.

“Whoever sat for WASC exams in whatever year, we have the records in our database, and Mr President, we have the records of the examinations you sat in 1961.

“We have the attestation of results which we issue to candidates who lost their certificates and confirmation of results,” Dr Uwadiae said.

Prophet Ikuru has berated the DG of NAFDAC, prof.mojisola Adeyeye for insulting the body of Christ by claiming that Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fefeyin is not real and he’s using the name of NAFDAC to deceive Nigerians “this is a big insult to the body of Christ in Nigeria,as the prophet of the nation,i will not sit back and watch anyone ridicule the body of Christ,there are fake products,drugs harmful drinks and food everywhere in the country NAFDAC has been very ineffective in discharging their duties,they have failed Nigerians to be very upright and honest, people are dying everyday as a result of consumption of fake and harmful drugs, drinks and food and they have no solution to all these”.

He reiterated that NAFDAC lacks the power to regulate spiritual materials ” who made NAFDAC god over spiritual materials and items,is NAFDAC a spiritual organisation?they lack the power to regulate the activities of clergymen, it’s insulting, denigrating, derogatory and totally unacceptable, I’m not going to sit back and watch NAFDAC make a fool of the body of Christ, prof.Adeyeye will have to apologize to the body of Christ or I will lead a protest of men of God against you across the 36 states of the federation because the attack on Mercyland Deliverance Ministry is an attack on all Christians in Nigeria,a prudent and judicious person will be very careful when handling religious matters “.
