The High Court has ordered the West African Examination Council to release the withheld results of candidates who sat the West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination in 2024 immediately.
The court held that the examination body failed to state the alleged malpractices or examination irregularities indulged in by the students.
On Thursday, January 30, four students representing ten thousand five hundred and twenty whose results were withheld filed an application seeking the court to order WAEC to release their results.
Lawyer for the applicants, Martin Kpebu argued that the action of the examination body infringed on the rights of the students since WAEC failed to explicitly indicate the reason for withholding the results.
