The Branch Controller of the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) in charge of Ogun State, Ayobami Suberu, has faulted an online media report insinuating that some public school students’ results were withheld because of indebtedness.
Mr Suberu described the report as mischievous and unbalanced, adding that the Ogun State government was not indebted to the Council in any way.
The Branch Controller explained that the results of the affected students were still pending because of a technical glitch, which is being looked into for quick redress and immediate action.
According to him, there is ongoing communication between the branch and the Head of the Test Administration Division of the Council.
“Let me say categorically that Ogun State does not owe WAEC a dime. A senior official from the Ogun State Ministry of Education had earlier called me regarding the report. I clarified that nothing of the sort happened; the report of indebtedness is not balanced and is obviously mischievous.

“How can a reporter just go ahead and put up a story without getting the side of WAEC? That is not ethical. The truth of the matter is that those results were not released due to a technical hitch, and we are relentlessly working on it for it to be released on Tuesday.
“We have activated communication with the Head of the Test Administration Division, and we are getting positive responses regarding the issue,” Subaru said.
