By The examination body, West Africa Examination Council which oversees the writing and certification of Secondary School Examinations in Nigeria has confirmed that Senator Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba parades a forged certificate as it never issued such.
It was confirmed that the Anambra South lawmaker falsified his grades in the alleged certificate as the signee was not in the position written at the date of issuance of the certificate.
WAEC, while responding to letter sent by an online medium, distanced itself from the fraudulent “certificate” as it pointed out some glaring mistakes assoicated with forged documents.
Officials of the exam body was particularly emphatic that Senator Andy Uba did not score ‘First Division’ as claimed by the forged certificate. It was disclosed that he did not have the regulated Grades to fulfill the condition of being awarded the Division One.
Mr. Uba’s real results, as certified by WAEC in its letter to Mr. Smith, showed that the senator performed woefully, scoring “credit” in only one subject, Chemistry. He failed English Language, Bible Knowledge, and Economics. He earned grades of mere “pass,” which are close to “fail,” in the following subjects: English Language, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, and Biology. By contrast, Mr. Uba’s falsified results claimed that he earned the following grades: English Literature 4, English Language 7, Christian Religious Knowledge 7, Economics 4, Statistics 6, Mathematics 6, Physics 4, and Chemistry 6.
Further investigations into the academic profile of the Senator revealed that the three universities he listed to have obtained B.Sc, M.Sc and Doctorate degrees from; Concordia University, Canada, California State University and Buxton University in United Kingdom never issued any certificate in his name.
It was discovered that though Senator Uba registered in both Concordia University and California University, but he dropped out along the line without completing works to be awarded a B.Sc certificate.
It was also discovered that Buxton University is not an accredited institution of learning but merely a certificate mill where anyone who can afford one will be issued. Despite being a mill that sends out certificate to customers around the world, Senator Uba still does not have one at hand.
