Read The New Details Cambridge University Has Released On Buhari’s Certificate

The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), now Cambridge Assessment, has released more details of the West African School Certificate(WASC) results presented by the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) to qualify for the February 14 presidential election.

The exam board, who said they were responding to requests to authenticate a candidate’s exam certificate in relation to Nigeria’s presidential election, posted the new details and clarifications on their website, www.http://cambridgeassessment.org.uk. The statement read:

“The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), now known as Cambridge Assessment, in response to requests to authenticate a candidate’s exam certificate, today said: “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 Data Protection Act 1998 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.

According to Sahara Reporters, Cambridge said that 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.

“Our records show that Hausa was set in the Northern Region in 1961″, the university concluded.

Recall that a legal practitioner, Chukwunweike Okafor, has contacted the Federal High Court in Abuja in order to apply for a lawsuit, saying that Buhari does not have the educational qualifications required to take part in the February 14 presidential election.

In a related development, four activists have filed a criminal suit against Buhari with Abuja Magistrates’ Court over false information.
