The Head of Public Affairs at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reacted to concerns raised by disgruntled students whose results had been withheld.
Speaking in an interview with Adom TV, John Kapi stated that students with issues about the results have been told to visit various WAEC offices to get their concerns addressed.
"We want the process to be quicker so that candidates who are innocent can get their release and also proceed with their school placement. This is why we have invited them. When they come, they will be put before a WAEC committee.
That committee has the scripts where they found evidence of collusion and copying. When you come, we will present the script to you as evidence, and based on that, we will ask you questions. The answers you provide will form the basis on which WAEC will take its decision. We have invited the persons concerned for questioning."
He explained that the Council had embarked on the process to ensure that students with no issues can also be successfully placed into schools.
