WAEC Makes U-turn, Releases Candidates’ Results
Authorities of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) on Wednesday, August 12, 2015, announced the release the examination results of over 100,000 candidates earlier withheld on account of unpaid fees by state governments.
The head of WAEC, Nigeria, Charles Eguridu, at a conference in Abuja, said the decision followed favourable response from some of the states owing the organisation that have paid some part of their debts.
WAEC also hinged its decision on the prevailing economic challenges in the country, noting that it would not want to jeopardise the educational progress of the candidates of the affected states.
Eguridu said, “Management of the council has decided that the results of the candidates of indebted states would be released in deference to all the appeals and the commitment of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum.
“The results are, therefore, to be uploaded on our website in the next 24hours; this decision is based on our wish not to impede the educational progress of any Nigerian child.”
Eguridu, however, expressed the belief that now that WAEC has made concessions, the affected states would reciprocate by fully meeting their financial obligations.
The examination body released the May/June 2015 Senior School Certificate Examination results on Monday, withholding 118,101 candidates’ results out of the 1.5 million students that sat for the examination.
About 19 states were alleged to owe WAEC registration fees amounting to over N3 billion, but as at Monday when the first batch was released the figure had reduced to 13 states
