WAEC Visits The Sins Of 13 States Owing It On 118,101 Students

The West African School Certificate, (WAEC) has decided to visit the sins of 13 state governments which had failed to settle their candidates’ registration fees on 118,101 such candidates by withholding their results.
INEC, which released the result of the May/June 2015 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) today, said that a total of 1.5 million students sat for the examination.
Head of National Office of the WAEC, Mr. Charles Eguridu said today in Lagos that the candidates in public schools in the 13 states would not have their results until their state governments pay their candidates’ registration fees.
The examination body had recently raised alarm that 19 states owed the agency about N4 billion which, if it is not paid, could cripple its operations. The SSCE result is currently online to make it easier for candidates to access, using the number on the scratch card they had earlier purchased. [myad]
