Photo News: Meet The Buhari Who Never Had School Leaving Certificate

By Correspondent

It was hard convincing many Nigerians that the then candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari actually had a secondary school certificate — the basic academic qualification for candidates competing to be president. After emerging the winner and the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the military fished out his certificate. It is worthy of note to reveal that Buhari does not just have school leaving certificate, he is also one of the most educated heads of state in this nation. They say pictures don’t lie: Buhari 1Buhari’s secondary school leaving certificate.

Buhari attended the Katsina middle school (Daura & Maidua, 1948-1952) and later proceeded to the Katsina provincial secondary school (now Government college, Katsina) for his high education from 1956-1961. From there, he went off to start his army education, like many boys of the north at that time.Buhari 2
