Following a widespread certificate forgery allegation leveled against Senator Ifeanyi Ubah by Obinna Uzoh, the National Examinations Council, NECO, has officially confirmed the certificate he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as original and authentic.
In a letter NECO/R/LGS/20/003, dated 23rd January 2020 and addressed to Human Rights Writers Association (HURIWA), Ubah and YPP, the examination body released the result details and cleared the air.
HURIWA had written to NECO, to authenticate or deny the certificate issued to Ubah.
In the letter, responding to the request, NECO confirmed that Ifeanyi Ubah took a total of 8 subjects, had credits in seven and failed one.
NECO further explained that the conventional and obtainable practice among examination bodies is that failed subjects are not recorded in the certificate, although they remain in the examination body’s database.
He said such will continue to appear in both the statement of results and confirmation of results usually sent to educational institutions.
While addressing the media in Abuja Senator Ifeanyi Ubah said he didn’t get any fair hearing from the court which gave a judgment in favour of Uzoh.
The senator said the judgment will not stand, as he has already appealed it. He said he needed to clear his name and set the records straight.
