VAM News Update
THE West African Examinations Council (WAEC) on Monday, 7th of August, 2023, released the results of the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) for school candidates.
According to report, the examination body released the results today.
The Head of the Public Affairs unit of the examination body, Moyosola Adesina confirmed the release of the result.
However, candidates from eight states owing the West African Examinations Council, WAEC, for various services rendered will not get their 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, results.
WAEC revealed this to journalists on Monday at the Press Briefing Hall, WAEC National Office, Yaba.
The body lamented that the inability to pay for services rendered was posing a great challenge in the activities of the examination body.
Responding to a question on the states owing WAEC, the National Officer of WAEC, Mr. Patrick Areghan, noted that “About eight states are owing WAEC. We won’t mention them all as some are going to pay.
“However, Zamfara and Niger are the highest debtors. Again Zamfara did not present any candidate for this year’s WASSCE,” Areghan noted.
