Accra, Ghana – John Kapi, Head of Public Relations at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), has defended the delay in releasing the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, citing ongoing investigations into alleged malpractice.
Kapi emphasized the need for a thorough and fair process to ensure the integrity of the examinations.
This statement comes in response to an ultimatum issued by the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), demanding the immediate release of all withheld results or facing nationwide protests.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, Mr. Kapi assured that WAEC remains committed to a credible examination process. “We need to sit down and probably bring on board a number of stakeholders to decide on this issue so that we are awarding grades to people who deserve them,” he stated.
However, this explanation has not appeased NUGS and other stakeholders, who argue that the prolonged delay is causing undue stress and uncertainty for affected students.
NUGS has vowed to mobilize students across the country for protests if WAEC fails to meet their demands within the one-week deadline.
