WAEC Threatens To Withhold 19 States Results Over Debts (see details)

Hundreds of candidates who sat for the May/June
West African Senior School Certificate Examination
may not have their results released in the next two
weeks, the West African Examinations Council has
announced. No fewer than 19 states of the federation
owe the council about N4bn examination registration
fees. The WAEC Head of National Office, Lagos, Mr.
Charles Eguridu, announced this on Monday at a
briefing in Lagos.
He, however, failed to make public the affected states.
Eguridu said, “A total number of 19 states in the
country owe the Council in respect of entry fees for
state government sponsored candidates for the May/
June 2015 WASSCE. Some states also still owe the
Council registration fees for the May/June 2014
WASSCE.
“We have written to the affected state governments
without any response. The poor response of the debtor
states is threatening the smooth operations of the
Council. “We, therefore, want to publicly plead with the
affected states to off-set the registration fees of their
candidates as soon as possible, as we cannot
guarantee that the results of their candidates for the
May/June 2015 will be released along with others.”
