The West African Examination Council, WAEC, has threatened to
impose penalties on candidates who failed to collect their certificates
on or before December 31.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Yusuf Ari, on Monday in Lagos.
It stated that millions of certificates of candidates who sat for
WAEC examinations since 1960s had long been signed but were not
collected by candidates.
"We wish to inform the general public that certificates up to
May/June 2012 West African Senior School Certificate Examination
(WASSCE), conducted by WAEC have been printed and dispatched to schools
for collection by candidates.
"And certificates for external candidates for up to November/December
2012 WASSCE diet, also conducted by the Council have also been printed
and are equally awaiting collection by candidates at WAEC offices
nationwide.
"The external candidates, especially who wrote the November/December
examination diets are advised to go and collect their certificates from
all our zonal branches or satellite offices in the states.
"We urge candidates to go to where they sat for the examination
because we no longer have enough space to harbour them. Most of these
certificates have been lying fallow in our various offices with no one
coming forward to collect them.
"Candidates come in trickles for them, only when they have absolute
need for them and I think it should not be so. We therefore wish to warn
that WAEC will be charging extra fee for the custody of these
certificates if the candidates failed to collect them later than
December 31," the statement said.
