The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) will, on Tuesday, deliberate on cases of malpractice and irregularities recorded during this year’s West African Senior School Certificate Examinations, WASSCE.

WAEC made the announcement in a tweet via its X account on Tuesday.

The examination body tweeted, “The 76th Meeting of the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) to consider & decide on the malpractice/irregularity cases arising from the conduct of WASSCE for School Candidates, 2023 begins today.”

Recall that WAEC had, in August, initially released this year’s WASSCE results but the release of 262,803 results was put on hold because of alleged examination malpractice.

Meanwhile, thelagostimes had earlier reported that WAEC appointed Dr. Amos Dangut as its new Head of National Ofice (HNO), Nigeria.

Until Dangut’s appointment as the council’s head, he was the Deputy Registrar of the office of the HNO.
