Finally, Government College, formerly known as Provincial Secondary School, in Katsina, has laid to rest the controversy surrounding the credentials of Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate.
The institution on Wednesday, January 21, released Buhari’s WASC result, indicating that he graduated in 1961.
The results, which exclusively obtained by Premium Times, confirmed Buhari’s claim that he undertook the University of Cambridge West African School Certificate Examinations and obtained five credits in English Language, Geography, Hausa Language, History, and Health Science.
However, the certificate also proved that the former military head of state, failed in Mathematics and Woodwork, and had a pass in Literature in English.
The examination center number was 8280 while Mr. Buhari’s candidate number was 002.
The statement of results is printed on the letter head paper of the Katsina State Ministry of Education, and it shows that the examination took place in 1961.
It could be recalled that the Nigeria military authority had on Tuesday denied being in position of Buhari’s credentials, a development that had put his presidential aspiration into serious doubt.
