Kaduna — The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) yesterday released the results of the May/June, 2007 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
At a press conference in Lagos, Mr Godwin Uzoigwe, Head, National Office of the Council, said that out of 1,275,330 candidates who sat for the examination, results of 956,497 have been released.
Uzoigwe said the results of 47,842 candidates were being investigated over alleged involvement in examination malpractice.
He also said the result of 318,833 candidates were still being processed due to errors made by the candidates during registration and examination.
According to him, 325,754 candidates obtained credit and above in English Language, Mathematics and three other subjects.
He also said that 37,635 candidates obtained credit and above in five subjects, but without English Language and Mathematics.
He added that 80,991 of the candidates were Science-oriented, 21,112 candidates, Social Science-based and 51,685, Art-oriented.
Uzoigwe advised the candidates to check their results on the council's website: www.waecdirect.org <http://www.waecdirect.org>, from September 16.
He said that WAEC had compiled the reports of the cases of alleged malpractice for presentation to the Nigeria Examinations Committee of the council.
He said that the committee's decisions would be communicated to the affected candidates later.
Uzoigwe said that the council would establish a satellite office in Ikorodu and Badagry in Lagos State to decongest its Ikeja office in Lagos.
"Both offices will become operational from January 2008," Uzoigwe added. He gave the assurance that the council would continue to do its best to conduct credible and hitch-free examinations and ensure timely release of results.
