The Branch Controller of the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) in charge of Ogun State, Mr. Ayobami Suberu has faulted an online media report insinuating that the results of some public school students in the state were withheld due to indebtedness.

Suberu, in a chat with newsmen on Tuesday morning, described the report as mischievous and unbalanced, adding that the Ogun State Government was not indebted to the Council in any way.

The branch controller explained that the results of the affected students were still pending because of a technical hitch, which is being looked into for quick redress and immediate action.

According to him, there is ongoing communication between the branch and the Head of the Test Administration Division of the Council in that regard, as he promised that the results would be released before the close of work on Tuesday.

“Let me say categorically that Ogun State is not owing WAEC a dime. A senior official from the Ogun State Ministry of Education had earlier called me regarding the report, and I clarified that nothing of the sort happened; the report of indebtedness is not balanced and is obviously mischievous.

“How can a reporter just go ahead and put up a story without getting the side of WAEC? That is not ethical. The truth of the matter is that those results were not released due to a technical hitch, and we are relentlessly working on it for it to be released on Tuesday.

“We have activated communication with the Head of the Test Administration Division, and we are getting positive responses regarding the issue,” Suberu said.
