WAEC WITHELD RESULT OF OGUN STATE AND 12 OTHERS
Just coming in, Students of public
schools in Ogun State who sat for the May/June 2016 West African Examination
Council (WAEC) Senior Secondary School Examination (SSCE) have appealed to
Governor Ibikunle Amosun to dialogue with the examination body to release their
results.
WAEC has earlier refused to release
the results of the students because of the debt owed it by the state
government.
Thousands of the students who
secured admissions into tertiary institutions could not be admitted because
WAEC is withholding the results.
Some of the affected students
revealed that their admission is under treat;
”Please, help me appeal to our
father, Governor Ibikunle Amosun to come to our aid by negotiating with WAEC to
release our results so that we can secure admission at the universities,”
pleaded Temitope Adegoke of Iganmode Grammar School, Ota.
Miss Bimpe Abdusalam, a student of
Ansar-Ud-deen Secondary School, Ota, disclosed that she forfeited her admission
at the University of Ibadan because she could not present her 2016 WASSCE
result. ”Some of us were admitted at the University of Ibadan for the current
academic session but because we could not present our WAEC results, the
university cancelled our admission in September.
”Governor Amosun should please pay
WAEC some of the debts owed so that our results can be released and we can look
for admission in other institutions,” she said.
A teacher at Pakoto Secondary
School, Ifo, who refused to disclose his name said Governor Amosun should be
blamed for the failure of thousands of Ogun State public school students who
could not secure admission this year into tertiary institutions due to the seizure
of their results by WAEC.
”The governor is just insensitive to
the plights of the poor. I see no reason why he should jeopardise the future of
brilliant students who passed WAEC by refusing to pay the examination body for
the release of their results.
”If you carry out an investigation,
you will discover that the children of the governor are not in any public
school, that is why he has refused to pay WAEC for the results to be released.
This is unfair,” he said.
WAEC is currently withholding the
WASSCE results of students from 13 states whose governments owe the examination
body backlog of WASSCE fees.
