The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has affirmed that the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has the right to stage a demonstration over the withholding of some 2024 WASSCE results.
NUGS has announced plans to protest on Tuesday, February 25, in response to WAEC’s decision to withhold the results of certain candidates. However, WAEC maintains that its actions are in line with established procedures.
Speaking to Citi News, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, acknowledged the union’s right to protest but defended the council’s decision. “NUGS has the constitutional right to demonstrate against whatever they feel. But in our press conference, we indicated clearly that no single staff of the council unilaterally decides to withhold results or to cancel results,” he explained.
He further emphasized that WAEC follows due process in making such decisions. “Whenever we have to make decisions, we refer those decisions to the appropriate committees of the council, and that is what we have been doing over the years. And so I would say that we have not arbitrarily been unjust to anybody as far as our operations are concerned,” he stated.
Despite the planned protest, WAEC insists that the withholding of results is based on established guidelines and not arbitrary actions by any individual within the council.
