President Buhari Receives Attestation and Confirmation of His WASC Examinations Result

The West African Examinations Council today publicly presents the attestation and confirmation of result to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The development may be as a result of the insinuation that His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari did not sit for the WASC Examination.

Buhari, after the presentation, took to his twitter account to back up the fact that He sat for WASC Examinations in 1961.

"Today I received the attestation and confirmation of my 1961 West African School Certificate (WASC) Examination result, from the Registrar of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). It was also an opportunity for me to thank WAEC for upholding its integrity over the years."

"As a Nigerian military officer, it would have been impossible for me to have attended the Defence Services Staff College in India in 1973, and, after that - in 1979 - the United States Army War College, had I not sat for the WASC examinations, which I did in 1961."

"The late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua was my classmate. We spent close to nine years in boarding school, at primary and secondary levels. And from there, after our WASC, we moved to join the Army, where we had to take a military examination as one of the requirements."
