The Head of Legal Affairs at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Rev.
Victor Brew, has reaffirmed the council's commitment to upholding the integrity of examination results, stating that no external pressure will influence the release of results for candidates involved in examination malpractice.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews on Friday, February 21, 2025, he explained that WAEC follows a rigorous process to investigate suspected cases of cheating, ensuring that no innocent candidates are not unfairly penalised. "We should not be pushed into a situation where people would cheat, have their results withheld for further investigation so that we don't cancel the result of an innocent person or let go the results of somebody who has cheated.
That is really the process," he explained.
