The West African Examination Council (WAEC) yesterday
said it could not compute the percentage of candidates who made a credit pass
in English language, Mathematics and three other subjects because of the
security challenges in the North.
Releasing the details of the results
of the May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) at
the council’s headquarters in Yaba, Lagos, WAEC’s Head of the Nigerian National
Office Mr Charles Eguridu said some of the scripts were hijacked and eventually
stolen by insurgents.
The WAEC chief explained that the
insurgents waylaid the council’s officials during the examinations.
The development has made it
difficult for the examinations body to compare this year’s results with
the previous years’ figures.
But Eguridu said there was an
improvement in this year’s results over the previous years’ figures.
He said: “We are unable to provide
statistics of candidates who obtained five subjects, including English language
and Mathematics at this time. This is because many candidates in the Northeast
have partial results at the moment, due to the security challenges encountered
there during the conduct of the examination, particularly loss of scripts.”
Giving a breakdown of the results,
the WAEC chief said 1,689,188 candidates registered for the examination of
which 1,671,268, consisting 920,416 males and 750,852 females sat for the
examination.
Eguridu said 1,543,683 (91.33 per cent)
have their results fully released, while 145,505 (8.2 per cent) still have a
few of their subjects still being processed because of errors traceable to
candidates and their schools in the registration or writing examination.
He said: “Of the total number of
candidates that sat for the examination, 889,636 (53.23 per cent) obtained six
credits and above; 1,074,065 (62.26 per cent) obtained five credits and above.
Besides, 1,225,591 candidates (73.33 per cent) obtained credits or above in
four subjects, while 1,353,273 (80.97 per cent) obtained credits and above in
three subjects.
“A total of 1,465,581 candidates
(87.69 per cent) obtained credits and above in two subjects.”
