Bello Mohammed, President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial nominee from Sokoto has defended his O’ level certificate with just two credits.

Mohammed, who had submitted his results and CV to the Senate screening committee, stated that he had done so to avoid burdening the legislators with his other certificates.

Mohammed stated the above when asked how he gained admission into a university with a secondary school certificate in which he had only two credits out of the five subjects he had sat for.

He said:

Sir, on the issue of qualification, I have other secondary school results which I have all passed but have not attached to my CV because we are talking of (a) secondary school certificate,” stated the ministerial nominee. “I want to remind distinguished senator, which he very much knows, that with the qualification of secondary school certificate as enshrined in the constitution, you can stand in election up to the presidential election.

“So, I didn’t bother you with many certificates, but I know I have the qualification for that.

“My first sitting of secondary school certificate was two credit passes. What I’m trying to say is that I have sat another examination, and I have passed, but I don’t want to attach another qualification.”

He failed to provide evidence of another secondary school certificate with credit in five subjects, which was a minimum requirement for admission into a higher institution in Nigeria.

If cleared by the Senate, Mohammed will become a minister in Tinubu’s government.

The Senate officially begun the screening process for the first group of ministerial nominees put forth by the President on Monday’s afternoon plenary session, which commenced promptly upon the arrival of Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
