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”
