The West African Examinations
Council (WAEC), on Thursday
denied rumours that it had
published results of the 2012
May/June West African Senior
School Certificate Examination
(WASSCE).
The Deputy Director, Public
Affairs of the Council, Mr. Yusuf
Ari, in a chat with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Lagos, described such rumours
as ``wicked and misleading .''
Ari said the council had received
information that some
individuals with evil intentions
were trying to deceive the public
by posting fraudulent
information online concerning
the results.
He added that some of the
fraudsters even went as far as
urging innocent individuals to
buy scratch cards to access the
results.
``There is absolutely nothing
like that from our Council. We
are surprised about this
information because we have
been receiving calls concerning
the said release of results.
``We have barely finished our
examination. We have just
concluded marking the
examination scripts in some
states while waiting on others
largely due to security
challenge in the country.
``Going by our tradition, WAEC
has never released the result
of this particular examination
in July,’’ he added.
According to him, there is no
way the result of examinations
that commenced in April across
the country and concluded on
May 17, will be released in July.
``The policy officially is that
results must be released 90 days
after the last paper is taken.
``But in the recent past, we have
been releasing results of this
examination well ahead of
schedule.
``And there is no way that the
release of results of examination
of this magnitude could be made
without an elaborate news
briefing by the Head of National
Office,” Ari said.
The deputy director said that
members of the test body were
currently working hard to
ensure that they met the target
set aside for the release of the
results.
Ari pleaded with candidates and
other stakeholders to shun the
deceit and not to allow
themselves to be misguided by
such wicked, baseless and false
rumours.
``Whenever we are set to publish
our results, we shall announce it
using all the media of
communication, as had always
been the practice.
``Here in this council, we
normally follow a pattern and we
cannot start changing it now
without following due process,”
he said.
