The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has attributed the unusual late conduct of its English Language exam in several states to a leakages, internal compromises, and logistical setbacks which led to some candidates taking the exam into the night.
Speaking during his appearance before the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education and Examination Bodies yesterday, WAEC’s Head of National Office, Dr. Amos Josiah Dangut, explained that the council identified leaks and integrity breaches in its English Language paper just three days before the exam.
WAEC officials had failed to attend a scheduled appearance before the Committee on Friday to provide an account of the examination irregularities that disrupted the process for students nationwide.
