The West African Examination Council has announced that it will release last year's results of candidates whose states are owing the exam council. Addressing newsmen at a briefing with journalists, the head of Nigeria National Office, WAEC, said the results will be released in 24 hours on the councils exam portal. He said the decision to reverse its initial delay in releasing the candidates results was due to pleas by various education stakeholders including the intervention of the secretariat of the Nigeria Governor's Forum.

He went forward to add that the council, however, did not wish to impede on the educational progress of any Nigerian child. According to him, the council hopes that the affected states will reciprocate this gesture, by fully meeting their financial obligations to the council so as to enable it meet its own obligations to its supervisors, examiners as well as service providers and other creditors.

When he was asked to list the number of states affected, he went on and said it will be unfair for the exam council to mention the states affected as some states have already paid in some reasonable amount of money. The decision to open this window of opportunity, that is, the resort to Advance Payment Guarantees for affected states, was as a result of our appreciation of the prevailing economic challenges facing the nation and in order not to jeopardize the educational progress of the candidates of the affected states, he said.
Some days ago, on releasing this year's WAEC results of candidates who took the May/June examination, WAEC had withheld the results of some of the candidates who were sponsored by some states. The action by the exam body was condemned by many Nigerians who believed the decision by WAEC will hamper the clamour for education by all.
The head of Nigeria National Office, WAEC had earlier announced that no fewer than 19 states in the country owe about N4bn examination registration fees.
