No fewer than 25 former candidates who sat for either the school or privates examinations conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and are born again Christians have returned their certificate claiming it was acquired through fraudulent means.
Sunday Sun learnt that
the affected born again former candidates in obeying the Christian
doctrine of seeking for restitution, approached WAEC, through letters
and personal visits to the council, seeking for restitution
after they had confessed how they acquired their certificates when they
wrote the examinations at various periods.
A senior staff of WAEC
disclosed that the council wrote to the candidates explaining what they were
ex-
pected to do which is
to return the certificates in accordance with the rules and
regulations guiding the conduct of the examinations.
Investigations revealed
that those who complied with the directive returned their
certificates to various WAEC offices nationa wide, and the council took
their cases to the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC), which met recently in
Lagos and cancelled the returned 25 certificates.
The one-page WAEC
document revealed that the returned certificates by the born again
Christians are for both the May/June (school exam) and November/December
(private candidates)
West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
