Deputy Director, Public Affairs, West African Examination Council (WAEC), Mr Yusuf Ari, had disclosed on Friday that the 2012 Nov./Dec. Senior School Certificate Examination result would be out in two weeks after the Examination had been concluded.

Ari made this disclosure during an interview in Lagos.

He said that the examination body had reiterated its commitment towards ensuring that the results were released as promised by the Examination council.

The Deputy Director said “I want to express satisfaction at the conduct of this year’s examination. We had finished the marking exercise for the Nov./Dec. SSCE for private candidates since Nov.

“The entire process of conducting and collating was quite impressive because there were no negative reports from any of the centres nationwide.

“We used limited logistics, and this to a great extent relaxed the pressure we normally had during the May/June examination, “ he said.

Ari, had also warned the candidates and other concerned individuals to watch out for criminal activities around the examination offices, calling on government and individuals to assist in fighting against the activities of touts.

“We all need to join hands in fighting these fraudsters who stay around our offices, looking for innocent people they would mislead by issuing fake certificates.

“We have made a lot of efforts to sensitise the public concerning the activities of these people, but still wonder why many people still go to them for transactions.

“Candidates and other stakeholders have been told over time not to transact any form of business with anybody outside our perimeter fence.

“They should walk in straight to our offices and they would be provided with the correct information.

“We do this to prevent them from losing so much in the bid of trying to get their certificates and other relevant information that could determine their future, “ he said.

Speaking further on the need to collectively fight the menace of touts, he said “I think we should all join hands in intensifying efforts to rid the system of these set of people.

“We should also embark on this continually in other to prevent the heartache their activities usually cause the victims, “ Ari had avowed.
