WAEC to decide on withheld SSCE results in September

Bayo Wahab 11:54 - 06 September 2018

WAEC says the fate of all withheld results will be determined at the Nigeria Examinations Committee in September.

The West Africa Examination Council has announced on its Twitter handle that the 2018 WASSCE results were withheld in July will either be released or cancelled in September.

Recall that on Tuesday, July 3, the Council's Head of Public Affairs, Mr Demianus Ojijeoguannounced on Twitter that the 2018 May/June WASSCE results would be released on Wednesday afternoon.

And as usual, the exam body did not release some results for some reasons.

However, a curious tweeter user, Abdulaziz Suaimon, @AbdulazizGarki9 asked WAEC about the withheld results and the exam body replied saying, ''held or withheld results will be decided (either to be cancelled or released) by the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) during their meeting next month''.

Social media enhances communication between WAEC and candidates

In the past, before the advent of social media, when results are withheld, candidates might hear anything about it again. They were often left to assume that their results have been cancelled.

But now, the presence of the exam body on social media platforms is helping the candidates to get instant responses to such sundry issues as delay in the release of result.
