In response to requests to prove the authenticity of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s exam certificate, the University Of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) has said that it will not be able to do so without his permission.
In a statement made available on its website, the institution 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.
There have been arguments since Buhari’s result was made public over whether Hausa was a subject back in 1961, with claims that the subject was not offered until 1970s.
