Earlier in November 2021, WAEC had announced that the results of 170,146 candidates were withheld in connection with various reported cases of examination malpractice.
Some candidates who sat the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations conducted between 2021 and 2022 by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) but whose results were withheld over suspected cases of irregularities and now exonerated will have their results released “latest by Friday, April 15, 2022.”
The acting head of the public affairs department of Nigeria’s office of WAEC, Moyosola Adeyegbe, confirmed this in a telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES’ reporter on Monday.
The confirmation was a follow-up to an earlier communique issued on Sunday by the examination body, stating the resolutions of the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC), WAEC’s highest decision-making organ on examination-related matters in the country.
The committee, the communique noted, had met between Thursday, April 7, and Friday, 8, to “consider matters relating to the conduct of the West African Senior School Examination (WASSCE) for school and private candidates.”
“Yes, for those whose results will be released among the candidates, they can begin to check from Thursday and latest by Friday,” Mrs Adeyegbe, said.
