Students of public
schools in Ogun State who sat for the May/June 2016 West African
Examination Council (WAEC) Senior Secondary School Examination (SSCE)
have appealed to Governor Ibikunle Amosun to dialogue with the
examination body to release their results.
WAEC has refused to release the results of the
students because of the debt owed it by the state government.
Thousands of the students who secured admissions
into tertiary institutions could not be admitted because WAEC is
withholding the results.
Some of the students appealed to Governor Amosun
to come to their aid as some higher institutions have refused to
admit them because of non presentation of their results.
”Please, help me appeal to our father, Governor
Ibikunle Amosun to come to our aid by negotiating with WAEC to
release our results so that we can secure admission at the
universities,” pleaded Temitope Adegoke of Iganmode Grammar School,
Ota.
Miss Bimpe Abdusalam, a student of Ansar-Ud-deen
Secondary School, Ota, disclosed that she forfeited her admission at
the University of Ibadan because she could not present her 2016
WASSCE result. ”Some of us were admitted at the University of
Ibadan for the current academic session but because we could not
present our WAEC results, the university cancelled our admission in
September.
”Governor Amosun should please pay WAEC some of
the debts owed so that our results can be released and we can look
for admission in other institutions,” she said.
A teacher at Pakoto Secondary School, Ifo, who
refused to disclose his name said Governor Amosun should be blamed
for the failure of thousands of Ogun State public school students who
could not secure admission this year into tertiary institutions due
to the seizure of their results by WAEC.
”The governor is just insensitive to the plights
of the poor. I see no reason why he should jeopardise the future of
brilliant students who passed WAEC by refusing to pay the examination
body for the release of their results.
WAEC is currently withholding the WASSCE results
of students from 13 states whose governments are owing the
examination body backlog of WASSCE fees.
