West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the May/June 2015 Senior School Certificate Examination results, withholding 118,101 candidates’ results out of the 1.5 million students that sat for the examination.

This was disclosed on Monday by the WAEC Head of National Office, Mr. Charles Eguridu, at a press conference in Lagos.

According to him, while annoucing the results the states owing WAEC had reduced to 13, saying the candidates in public schools in the 13 states would not have their results until their state governments pay their candidates’ registration fees.

The examination body had raised the alarm that 19 states owed the agency about N4bn, an amount that might cripple the operations of WAEC.
