WAEC to release withheld result of indebted states in 24 hours

Mr Charles Eguridu the head of the Nigerian Office  of WAEC stated that the withheld result of indebted states in Nigeria will be released within 24 hours. This is good news to the affected states  as  students of these states will know their fate, and the result though delayed will be released.

This latest development was as a result of the meeting held by the Head of the Nigerian Office of WAEC and the Governors forum in Abuja. According to Mr Charles 

“Our decision to open this window of opportunity, that is the resort to advance payment guarantees for affected states, was as a result of our appreciation of the prevailing economic challenges facing the nation and in order not to jeopardise the educational progress of the candidates of the affected states.

“However, following appeals from our stakeholders, including parents, the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of secondary Schools, notable Nigerians, other well -meaning citizens and most importantly, the intervention of secretariat of Nigeria governor’s Forum, which we have informed is on the directive of the chairman of the forum, governor of Zamfara state, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, who has indicated that the forum will positively resolve the matter as soon as possible, we have decided to hearken to appeals and review our earlier position”.

“The results are, therefore, to be uploaded on our result website in the next 24 hours. This decision is based on our wish not to impede the educational progress of any Nigerian child”.

Thus, the affected states this is a good news for them.
