WAEC's Assurance

John Kapi, WAEC's Head of Public Affairs, reassured parents and guardians in a statement that the results will be released soon.

“The pending is a result of some mistakes made by our supervisors and the candidates who did not follow instructions. So you would have, for example, maybe your music script is found where the music examiner has marked the music bit, but then the design bit of it cannot be marked by the same examiner.

“So we will want to appeal to parents and guardians to exercise restraint because certainly we had our people working throughout the night and hopefully we would have those results released,'' part of the statement read.

Concerned stakeholders are advised to remain patient as WAEC works to finalize the results.
