Oh Dear, Melaye had only 3 credits in WAEC Result, Copy of his ABU Statement of Result Surfaces With Different Names [PHOTOS]

  SaharaReporters has obtained Senator Dino Melaye’s West African Examination Council (WAEC) result sheets which it described as a pointer that the embattled senator was a dismal student who earned only three credits.

The result sheet for the senator, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who represents Kogi West senatorial district, came from a secondary school attended by Mr. Melaye.

The senator according to SaharaReporters had kept that aspect of his academic history hidden from the public by scrubbing the school from his profile on the website of the Nigerian Senate.

Mr. Melaye sat for the WAEC exams at the Abdulazeez Attah Memorial College, Okeke in Kogi State. His results, exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters, reveal that Senator Melaye, whose name on the result sheets was registered as Daniel Jonah O. Melaiye, only made three credits in Christian Religious Studies (C5), Agricultural Science (A3) and Biology (C6). Melaye took 6 other subjects including English Language (P8), Mathematics (P8), Chemistry (P8), Economics (P7) and Physics (F9).

The dismal performance meant that Mr. Melaye did not have the minimum requisite credits to gain admission into a Nigerian university to study for a bachelor’s degree. In fact, the only way he could have been admitted for studies at a Nigerian university was if he earned other credits from another secondary school.

Mr. Melaye did not list his secondary school education on his www.linkedin.com profile. Nor did he provide it on his senatorial profile on the website of the Nigerian National Assembly. Instead, he listed Gandun Nasarawa Primary School in Kano as the source of his West African School Certificate. Pupils in primary school are not eligible to sit WAEC exams.
                    

In other development, a Copy of Melaye’s ABU Statement of Result has surfaced with 3 different names.  The statement of result, dated February 3, 2000; was signed by B.B. Mshelthlila and issued by the academic unit within the Office of the Registrar of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.

The alleged statement of result reads: “This is to certify that Daniel Jonah Melaye having completed an approved course of study and passed the prescribed examinations as, under the authority of the Senate been awarded the Bachelor of Arts (Geography) with Third Class honours.”

However, the result is riddled with several inconsistencies which appear to deepen Melaye’s certificate forgery brouhaha.

For instance, his name was given as “Daniel Jonah MELAYE.” However, inquiries by DAILYPOST on http://geography.abu.edu.ng/ revealed that Geography is in the Faculty of Physical Sciences and not the Faculty of Arts as reflected in the statement of results.

Also, in the senator’s NYSC discharge certificate, which was issued on July 8, 2001, his name read “Melaye Daniel” and not Daniel Jonah as shown in the statement of results.

Again, in the diploma certificate issued to him by the University of Jos on August 3, 2006, his name reads “Daniel Dino Melaye.”

He was issued an Advanced Diploma certificate in Law, Security and Conflict Resolution. He finished with ‘Lower Credit’ on August 3, 2006.

However, in his Senior School Certificate purportedly bagged in 1992, which was distributed by Sahara reporters, his name read ‘Melaiye Daniel Jonah O.’ with Melaye being wrongly spelt.

As at Friday evening, Wikipedia.org has edited Dino Melaye’s biography to capture and reflect the certificate mess.
