Martin Kpebu, lawyer for the plaintiffs who have sued WAEC for withholding their 2024 WASSCE examination results has accused the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) of neglecting due diligence in the administration of their duties.
On December 30 last year, WAEC announced that it had withheld the results of approximately 10,000 WASSCE candidates across multiple subjects, citing alleged examination malpractices and irregularities by the candidates.
According to Martin Kpebu, WAEC is only speculating about the alleged examination malpractice as the Council had failed to produce a single charge against is clients.
This, he believes is a dereliction of the fairness that the examination body is expected to demonstrate. "The problem is that WAEC is not realizing to agree with this matter in a constitutional context as well.
