Read the full details as reported by the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
The National Examinations Committee of West
Africa Examinations Council on Thursday said it had
cancelled results of candidates involved in
examination malpractice at the 2014 examinations.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria , the WAEC
Public Affairs Officer, Mr. Damianus Ojijeogu, made
this known in a statement in Lagos.

The committee, he said, took the decision to cancel
the results at its 59th meeting held in Lagos.
Ojijeogu said the committee reviewed a report on
irregularity and special and clemency cases arising
from the conduct of the May/June 2014 West
African Senior School Certificate at the meeting.

The statement added that the committee considered
a report on the conduct of the November/December
2014 WASSCE, including irregularity cases arising
from the conduct of the examination.

It said, “In the course of considering the various
reported cases of malpractice, the committee, after
diligent deliberations, approved appropriate
sanctions in all established cases of malpractice.

“This action is as prescribed by the rules and
regulations governing the conduct of the council’s
examinations.

“It approved that the entire results of such
candidates involved in proven cases be cancelled.
“The communiqué also recommended that the
subjects’ results of those involved in proven cases
of malpractice be similarly cancelled.

“In addition, some candidates will also suffer other
sanctions, such as barring them from sitting for the
council’s examinations for a certain number of
years.”

The statement said that the decisions of the
committee would be implemented immediately.
It, however, said that the council would release
results of candidates exonerated by the committee.

According to the communiqué, the committee’s
sanctions will also impose sanction on all the ad-
hoc examination workers that condoned the
malpractice.

“The committee has directed all the ad-hoc
examination functionaries indicted of involvement or
condoning malpractice during the conduct of the
examination, be reported to appropriate state
ministries of education.

“The ad-hoc examination functionaries, who
participated during the November/December 2014
WASSCE, would also be reported to relevant bodies
for disciplinary action.

“This will be in addition to the sanctions imposed on
them by the council.

“The committee, as in previous meetings, strongly
expressed concern at the alarming incidence of
malpractice in examination and urged stakeholders
to join hands in curbing the menace,” it said. (NAN)[/b]
