The West Africa Examinations Council (WAEC) has threatened to withhold the results of students that sat for the May/June 2015 WASSCE in 19 states over nonpayment of candidates’ registration fees by their state governments.
According to the WAEC Head of National Office (HNO), Mr Charles Eguridu: “The affected states should 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 WASSCE will be released alongside others.”
He said that a total number of 19 states in the country owe the Council in respect of entry fees for states government sponsored candidates for the May/June 2015 WASSCE noting that some States also still owe the Councils registration fees for the May/June 2014 WASSCE.
Eguridu also stated that the 19 states which are indebted to the tune of N4 billion were not making efforts to pay adding that efforts made by the Councils to get the money from them proved abortive, hence WAEC has resolved to make it public.
He however declined to mentioned names of the indebted states as many of the affected state governors have just assumed office.
