The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, has
said that General Muhammadu Buhari can apply to the examination body for
the verification of his results. It said such verification can only be
forwarded to the institution specified by the candidate.
WAEC Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Lagos, Mr.
Yusuf Ari in a telephone conversation with Vanguard Wednesday said, “No
individual has the legal right to approach WAEC for the verification of another
person’s result except the owner of the result.”
He explained that the constitutional right vested on
the Freedom of Information law does not include invasion of privacy adding,
“The certificate in question belongs to Muhammadu Buhari and he alone has the
right to apply for verification.
“Be that as it may, WAEC cannot take any action
except, the owner of the certificate asked us to do so. We are an independent
body, therefore, we cannot be partisan on this issue,” he said.
According to Ari, all the former Head of State needs
to do is to apply by given WAEC the name of his school, Examination number and
year of the examination and the result will be verified.
However, after verification of the results, it will
be forwarded to the institution and not the owner of the results.
