West
African Examination Council, WAEC, on Tuesday said that the body was yet to
select the best candidate for the just released results of the 2016
examinations.
The
spokesman of WAEC, Mr Demianus Ojijeogu told newsmen that the results would be
consolidated before the highest scorers would be named and rewarded.
Our reporters
observed that some candidates who had As in all nine subjects they sat for have
been named in the social media as the highest scorers since the partial release
of the results.
“The
ranking which has made some students the highest scorers in the last WAEC/SSCE
examinations did not emanate from us.
“There
were some mistakes in some candidates’ results. So we have pending results yet
to be released. We are already working on them so that we can resolve the
queries on them.
“Some of
them were caused by errors from candidates while they were registering. When we
resolve the queries, we then release the results”, he said.
“We also
have withheld results because of malpractice. We have reports from exam halls
from our staff who were on inspection, our supervisors, independent monitors
who sent in reports.
“We also
got reports of malpractice from our marking venues, some of the examiners who
marked the scripts also gave reports of some candidates copying each other, for
instance in spelling, in a centre, over 20 to 40 candidates made the same
mistake of misspelling “through”, how can that be? He asked.
He said
that when the investigations have been concluded with enough proof of cheating,
then the results would be forwarded to the Nigerian Examinations Committee for
their final verdict on them.
Ojijeogu
said that based on committee’s decision during their meeting which holds every
November in a selected state, the pending results would either be cancelled or
released.
“So since
the results have not been consolidated, we would not say that this person had
the best result because somebody whose result is pending can still perform
better than somebody who result has been released”, he said
The
Public Affairs Officer said that the highest scorers, male and female are later
named and given awards in the following year during the meeting of the
committee.
