2 mins read

The National Examination Council has confirmed that Senator Ifeanyi Ubah passed seven out of the eight subjects he  sat for in 2003.

The Head of the Department of Legal and Board Affairs of NECO,  Comfort Kolo, stated this in a letter she addressed to the National Secretary of the Young Progressives Party, Vidiyeno Bamaiyi.

The letter with reference number NECO/R/LGS/V. 20/006, and dated January 23, 2020, was obtained by our correspondent in Abuja on Monday.

The examination body said the letter was in response to YPP’s request, seeking details of Ubah results.

NECO said  Ubah was given a statement of results in June 2003 containing the subjects he passed and the grades.

The results are English Language (C6), Mathematics (C6),  Government (C6),  Economics (C5), Literature in English (C5),  Commerce (C5)  and Christian Religious Studies (C6).

The body said biology was not included in the statement of  results because  Ubah scored F9 in it.

The Senator,  who briefed journalists on the issue in Abuja on Monday,   said  his accusers approached the court with a copy of his statement of results which indicated that he failed biology.

Ubah, who said he  was  studying law (400 level) at the Baze University, Abuja, added that he sat for the  examination in 2003 at Cardoso High School, Ajeromi/Ifelodun,  Lagos.

He said,  “I am happy that NECO has cleared my name and vindicated my innocence of the charges preferred against me at the FCT High Court.”

Ubah  is battling to retain his seat at the Senate after he was

sacked by the court  over certificate forgery.
