The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has stated that no
fewer than 19 states in the country owe about N4bn examination
registration fees.
Mr. Charles Eguridu, the Head of WAEC National Office, revealed this on Monday at a briefing in Lagos.
However, he failed to mention the affected states.
Eguridu said, “We have written to the affected state
governments without any response. The poor response of the debtor states
is threatening the smooth operations of the Council.
“We, therefore, want to publicly plead with the affected states
to off-set the registration fees of their candidates as soon as
possible, as we cannot guarantee that the results of their candidates
for the May/June 2015 will be released along with others.”
Meanwhile the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project
(SERAP), has sued the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
and the University of Lagos (UNILAG) for setting high cut-off marks for
candidates seeking admission into the institution.
