Ekiti 2020 WASSCE results released, WAEC apologises

The West African Examinations Council on Thursday released the withheld results of 2020 West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination results of public schools in Ekiti State.

The results were rumoured to have been withheld due to the state’s alleged indebtedness to the examination body.

But WAEC has apologised for the delay in the release of Ekiti schools’ results.

The council’s apology came through a letter on Thursday titled, ‘WASSCE for school candidates: Letter of apology for the delay in the release of results of public schools in Ekiti State’.

Similarly, WAEC has said the Rivers State Government does not owe the council.

A statement signed by the Acting Head, Public Affairs, WAEC, Demianus Ojijeogu, said results of candidates of Rivers State origin were released alongside those of other candidates on November 2, 2020.

“The attention of WAEC, Nigeria has been drawn to a publication in an online medium, alleging that the results of candidates from Rivers State were being withheld as a result of the indebtedness of the Rivers State Government to the West African Examinations Council.”

“There is no iota of truth in this allegation, whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, the council wishes to state that the results of candidates of Rivers State origin were released alongside those of other candidates on Monday, November 2, 2020.

 “The Rivers State Government is not in any way indebted to the council,” the statement read in part.
