The West African Examination Council on Wednesday released
the full results of 1,543,683 candidates
who sat for its May/June 2013 Secondary
School Certificate Examination.
The number represents 91.38 per cent of
1,689,188 candidates who registered for
the examination,.
The Head of National Office (HNO) of
WAEC, Dr Charles Eguridu, announced the
results on Wednesday when he addressed
a news conference in Lagos.
Eguridu said 889,636 candidates obtained
six credits and above, while 1,074,065
others obtained five credits and above.
According to him, the results of 145,505
others, representing 8.62 per cent, were
being processed due to some errors.
“These errors are traceable to the
candidates as well as their schools in the
course of registration or writing the
examination.’’
The HNO explained that such errors were
being corrected by the council to enable
the affected candidates to get their
results fully processed and released
subsequently.
Eguridu disclosed that the council
cancelled the result of 2,176 candidates.
He explained that the cancellation was due
to multiple entries by the candidates
discovered while processing the results.
“In line with the council’s regulation, the
entire results of such candidates who have
been found guilty of this act had been
cancelled, “ he said.
The HNO also said 112,865 results of
candidates, representing 6.75 per cent,
were withheld due to examination
malpractice.
Eguridu pointed out that the cases were
being investigated and that reports of the
investigations would be presented to the
Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) for
consideration.
Further breakdown revealed that 1,225,591
candidates obtained credits and above in
four subjects, 1,353,273 obtained credits
and above in three subjects, while 1,465,581
obtained credits and above in two
subjects.
Eguridu said that of the 121 blind
candidates, 117 attempted it while 24
obtained five credits in five subjects
including English Language.
“Blind candidates do not take Mathematics
and Science Practical in WASSCE diets“,
he said.
He hailed security agencies for providing
the much needed security throughout the
conduct of the examination.
The HNO said that despite the security
challenge in the country, especially in some
parts of the North-East, the council was
able to conduct the examination.
“We thank the Federal government and
security agencies particularly in Adamawa,
Borno and Yobe States for the support
rendered the council during the conduct
of our examination.
“We equally commend the Federal and
State Ministries of Education for their
support in terms of their facilities and
logistics given to us during the conduct of
the examination.’’
He decried the murder of three of the
council’s personnel by gunmen while on
their way from Yola to Maiduguri.
The candidates can check their results
online on the council’s website within 24
hours of the declaration of the results.

Birma5: The results of the blind candidates is not too bad i'd say

I beg to differ, only 24 out of 117 is not encouraging, the status of the rest has to be ascertained before a reasonable conclusion can be made.
