Lagos commissioner nominee claims she doesn’t have WAEC certificate

The Lagos State House of Assembly has screened 10 more commissioner nominees in addition to the eight screened on Thursday.

Recall that a list of 25 nominees was sent by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to the Assembly a weeks ago.

During the screening on Friday, one of the nominees, Abolaji Dada, claimed that she had not been able to access her West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) result.

Dada claimed to have sat for the WAEC examination in 1984, but that no certificate was issued in the stated year.

“I took my WAEC exam in a government school so I felt it would not be difficult to access it, but I eventually made effort to retrieve my certificate when the need arose but was told that my school’s data was not captured.

“My claim can be verified that my 1984 WAEC certificate for my school was not accessible,” she said.

Others who were screened were Ajibola Ponle, Samuel Egube, Moyosore Onigbanjo, Olowo Onadapo, Folashade Omobola, Olatunbosun Alake, Olalere Odusote and Uzamat Akinbile-Yusuf.

On Thursday, Toke Benson-Awoyinka, Aderemi Adebowale, Tunji Bello, Adekemi Ajayi-Bemebe, Wale Ahmed, Prof. Akinola Abayomi, Gbenga Omotosho and Hakeem Fahn were screened.
