WAEC has announced the immediate release of withheld results of applicants exonerated of malpractices during the conduct of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2020 – Second Series and WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2021 – First Series.
This comes as the Nigeria Examinations Committee, NEC, concluded its 72nd meeting with a promise to punish anybody found guilty of wrongdoing during the examinations.
The Committee is Nigeria’s highest decision-making body when it comes to examinations.
The following is a portion of the statement signed by WAEC Acting Head, Moyosola Adeyegbe, on behalf of the Head of National Office: “At the 72nd Meeting, the Committee received reports on Irregularity, Special and Clemency Cases arising from the conduct of WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2020 – Second Series and WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2021- First Series earlier considered at the 71st Meeting of the Committee.
“The Committee also received and considered reports on the conduct of WASSCE for School Candidates, 2021 as well as Irregularity Cases arising from the conduct of the examination.
“In the course of considering the various reported cases of malpractice, the Committee, after diligent deliberations, approved appropriate sanctions in all established cases of malpractice, as prescribed by the Rules and Regulations governing the conduct of the Council’s examinations. It authorized that the entire results of candidates proven to have been involved in malpractice cases which attract the penalty of Cancellation of Entire Results (CER) be cancelled, while subject results of Candidates proven to have been involved in malpractice cases which attract the penalty of Cancellation of Subject Results (CSR), be similarly cancelled.
” Furthermore, some candidates will also suffer other sanctions such as being barred from sitting for the Council’s examinations for two years. Some schools will be derecognized for a specified number of years or have their recognition completely withdrawn. Some Supervisors that were found wanting in the discharge of their examination duties will be formally reported to their employers and blacklisted while some Invigilators will also be reported to the appropriate authorities for disciplinary action.
“The resolutions of the Committee will be implemented without delay and the affected candidates and schools duly informed by the Council. However, the results of candidates who were exonerated by the Committee will be released without further delay.”
The WAEC chief examiners’ report also demonstrated a considerable improvement in the body’s conduct of the various examinations, as well as the overall performance of applicants, according to the Committee.
The Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) was attended by the Chief Government Nominee on Council, four delegates from each state’s ministry of education, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja Department of Education, ANCOPSS, and universities. It also comprises the Nigeria National Office’s Registrar to Council, Head of the Nigeria National Office, Head of Test Development Division (TDD), and Head of Test Administration Division (TAD).

In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Superb Blog!
