Lawyer Invokes Freedom of Information Act, Asks WAEC To Provide Details Of Aiyedatiwa’s Result
Kayode Megbojuri, lawyer and civil rights activist, has written to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to authenticate the result of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo state and issues surrounding it.
Megbojuri relies on the Freedom of Information Act in asking the examination body for the details of the governor’s result.
The FOI Act gives Nigerian citizens the right to access public information and records.
The lawyer’s request from the WAEC includes:
1. Information of the candidate with the examination number 019 with center number 15592 with the name, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for the 1982 May/June, Examination.
2. Whether or not in the year 1982, anyone with the name Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa wrote GCE exams with centre number 15592 and examination number 019.
3. List of schools accredited for WAEC examinations in Lagos State in the year 1982.
4. List of Centre’s and schools accredited for GCE in the year 1982.
Another lawyer Had before now petitioned the Nigerian Police over the secondary school certificate results of the Governor and over which a police report has been issued.
The status of the WAEC result of the governor and issues surrounding it will go a long way to determine what becomes of him and his aspiration.
