President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday received attestation certificate and confirmation of school certificate result from the West African Examination Council.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, disclosed this on his Twitter handle, @FemAdesina, on Friday.
Adesina wrote, “WAEC presents attestation certificate and confirmation of school cert result to President Buhari. What will the naysayers say next?”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Registrar of the Council, Dr. Iyi Uwadiae, made the presentation at the President’s mini conference hall at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Uwadiae, who was accompanied by senior staff of the council, performed the ceremony during a courtesy visit to the State House.
The presentation was witnessed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha; Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu; and other presidential aides.
There has been controversy by the opposition parties over Buhari’s academic credentials.
The President was reported to have informed the Independent National Electoral Commission that his credentials were in possession of the military board.
Buhari’s position had, however, continued to trigger some comments from political observers.
The Peoples Democratic Party had, on October 26, challenged Buhari to show proof of his integrity by presenting his academic credentials “if he has any,” to the INEC.
