The West African Examinations Council
(WAEC) has described as successful the
conduct of its May/June 2016 diet
examination, few days to the end of the
exercise.
The Public Affairs Officer (PAO) of the
examination body, Mr Damianus Ojijeogu,
disclosed this in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday
in Lagos.
NAN reports that this year’s May /June
diet of the West African Senior School
Certificate Examination (WASSCE) started
in February and will end on May 13.
According to him, there has been no
negative report since the examination
started, especially in states with security
concerns.
“ We are happy with the turnout of events
so far.
“The examination has come and almost
concluded without recording any hitch
from various centres around the country.
“We are particularly happy that the
conduct of the examination is going on
smoothly in states with security issues.
“This is largely due to the fact that we
made use of our staff who are indigenes
of those areas as well as deployment of
new technology.
“In all, the conduct of the examination is
a huge success even with a few days to
the end of the exercise.
“The only hitch we recorded was fuel
scarcity which almost affected our
logistics and movement of staff and
materials,’’ he said.
Ojijeogu said that marking of the scripts
would begin in June to enhance early
release of results.
He expressed the council’s appreciation
to the supervisors and the examiners for
their efforts and commitment toward the
conduct of the examination.
Ojijeogu, however, noted that a lot still
needed to be done in the aspect of
discipline.
“We appeal to the states ministry of
education to always send their staff that
have proven integrity to represent their
schools,’’ he said.
He assured of the council’s commitment
to quality service delivery. (NAN
