WAEC begins NEC meeting to decide on withheld results

The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, has convened the 76th meeting of the Nigeria Examinations Committee to discuss cases of malpractice and irregularities involving school candidates in the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination.

The organization announced this on Tuesday using its official X Twitter.

Earlier on Monday, WAEC appointed Dr. Amos Josiah Dangut as the Head of the Nigeria National Office.

In August, the examination body initially released the 2023 WASSCE results, but the outcomes of 262,803 candidates were put on hold due to instances of examination malpractice.

However, the body has assured candidates that information about their results will be communicated after the NEC meeting concludes its deliberations.

“The 76th Meeting of the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) to consider & decide on the malpractice/irregularity cases arising from the conduct of WASSCE for School Candidates, 2023 begins today,” the post read.
