The Registrar, West African Examination
Council , Dr. Uyi Uwadiae , has said that
the council will start the conduct of a
second diet of the West African Senior
School Certificate Examination in 2018 .
The newly- introduced diet will be written
between January and February each year .

Uwadiae, who spoke during a briefing in
Lagos on Thursday , said that a second
diet for private candidates would reduce
“ the level of desperation sometimes
exhibited by the perpetrators of
malpractice’’ and afford private
candidates the opportunity of retaking the
examination without having to wait till
the following year .
He added that the Nigerian National
Office had agreed to start the
examination out of the five member
countries in 2018 .
“ Due to the fact that WASSCE for school
candidates comes up first each year and
the result is released ahead of the
conduct of the NOV / DEC WASSCE for
private candidates, the school candidates
who wish to retake the examination will
now have the opportunity in this new
diet.
“ With growing concern among the
stakeholders over what they perceive as
‘discrimination ’ or ‘ denial of equal
opportunity’ against private candidates ,
there has been a wave of agitation ,
criticisms and appeals across the sub-
region for the council to find a way of
ameliorating the plight of private
candidates who desire another attempt at
WASSCE.’’ Uwadiae said .
The WAEC boss said the details about
schedule dates, available subjects and
location of centres for the second diet of
the examinations for private candidates
would be provided by the national offices
of member countries .
He added , “Our assignment ends with the
conduct of the examination and the
release of results. What you do with the
result is none of our business. Yes, some
universities do not allow for a
combination of results but we cannot tell
university what to do.
“ The positive effect is that if you had
tried first time and you are unable to
make your five credits , you have the
opportunity of trying a second time . What
is important is not the number of times
but with what you can do with it .’’
