ONDO GOVERNMENT NOT BEHIND WITHHOLDING OF 2024 WASSCE RESULTS, COMMISSIONER CRIES OUT

 



The Ondo State Government said it has no hand in the withhold of results of some students who participated in the 2024 West Africa Secondary Secondary School Examination WASSCE, in Ondo State by the West Africa Examination Council, WAEC.

Reports indicate that some results of public secondary school students that sat for the examination are still being withheld by WAEC,  even after the state government had paid all the necessary registration fee.

Reacting to the report, Ondo State Commissioner for Education Science and Technology, Mr Olaolu Akindolire said the state government has no hand in the action of WAEC as registration fee for the examination had been fully paid.

He wondered why WAEC is still withholding the results especially this period when admission into tertiary institutions is ongoing across the country, adding that the examination body has not given any reason for it action.

The Commissioner said the withholding of the results by WAEC was capable of jeopardizing the hope of securing admission into tertiary institutions by the affected students, and called on the examination body to release the results promptly.

Mr. Akindolire declared that the state government still maintains its zero tolerance posture to examination malpractices and urged WAEC to carry out the necessary verifications to ensure that the affected students were not being unjustly punished.

While sympathizing with the affected students and their parents, the Commissioner assured that the West Africa Examination Council, WAEC, as a reputable examination body does not take pleasure in punishing students without justification, assuring that the withheld results would be released appropriately.
