The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has said that results of students sponsored by states indebted to the council will not be released until the affected states pay up.

This was made known during a press briefing on the announcement of the 2022 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates by the Head of Nigeria Office, WAEC, Mr Patrick Areghan, on Monday at the WAEC office, Yaba, Lagos.
According to Mr Areghan, candidates who have fulfilled their financial obligations can access their results on their results within the next twelve hours.
He said: “The results are being uploaded on the results website. Candidates who sat the examination and who have fulfilled their financial obligations to the Council can access their results on the Council’s results website within the next twelve hours.
“Copies of the Result Listing will be sent to schools shortly. I need not restate the fact that the results of candidates who are sponsored by states indebted to the Council will not be released now until they pay up. We appeal to them to do so to enable the affected schools/candidates access their results.”
He added that some schools failed to upload their students’ Continuous Assessment Scores Capturing System at the stipulated time and many failed to meet registration deadlines, to the extent that some schools ended up not presenting their students for the examination.
“Yet, some who registered their students off-line failed to upload their entries! This showed unacceptable level of nonchalance. Again, others failed to meet deadlines due to criminal ‘shopping’ for candidates. By the time they realised it, the window had closed,” he said.
