The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), has released the results of candidates exonerated of malpractice during its West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), held in 2020 and 2021.
The results were earlier withheld pending the outcome of investigations.
The Council in a communique issued at the end of the 72nd meeting of the Nigeria Examinations Committee, also authorised the cancellation of results of candidates proven to have been involved in malpractice.
The communique signed by WAEC’s Acting Head, Moyosola Adeyegbe, on behalf of Head of National Office read in part: “At the 72nd Meeting, the Committee received reports on irregularity, special and clemency cases arising from the conduct of WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2020 – Second Series and WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2021- First Series earlier considered at the 71st Meeting of the Committee.
“In the course of considering the various reported cases of malpractice, the committee, after diligent deliberations, approved appropriate sanctions in all established cases of malpractice, as prescribed by the Rules and Regulations governing the conduct of the Council’s examinations.
