Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari was yesterday, issued a school certificate by the West African Examination Council.
In preparation for the 2019 Presidential Election, it was pertinent that the President produced his SSCE certification which is one of minimum requirements to contest for office (Buhari swore an affidavit in place of the certificate in 2015).
However, after the news made rounds, some Nigerians suspected foul play in the proceedings as they wanted to know why the President’s current passport photograph was used in the certificate for an exam which was allegedly written in 1961.

How Buhari wrote WAEC in 1961 with bald head, should be in Guinness book of world records.— AJALA (@UNCLE_AJALA) November 2, 2018
First you say your original WAEC result is with the military, then WAEC suddenly re issues you one which is against WAEC Law. After forging the result you forget to add Mathematics in it.Affliction will not rise the 2nd time!!!— KinG NomSo(@ani_nomso) November 2, 2018
WAEC result surfaces after almost 60 years. For more jokes, please text 419 to 0805 419 419.— Dr. Dípò (@OgbeniDipo) November 2, 2018
WAce has now explained why the president’s current passport appeared on the certificate, saying that since it is an attestation and not the original certificate, the passport photograph that was submitted during application is the one that would appear on the certificate when ready.

Let’s educate ourselves a bit:
1. President Buhari was given Attestation of Results not a certificate;
2. Attestation of Results is given to a candidate whose certificate is damaged or missing;
3. It carries the passport photo the candidate submitted during application.
