Confusion and anxiety have enveloped Ogun State as the West African Examination Council (WAEC) has seized the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results of students due to the state government’s unpaid debts.

The seizure has caused significant distress among families as they await clarity on their children’s academic futures. Public secondary schools across the state, including Igiri High School in Ijofin, Agosasa, Ipokia, Pakoto High School in Ayede, Ifo, and Iganmode Grammar School 2 in Ota, are reported to be affected. It is unclear if all public schools in Ogun State are impacted.

Sources within the education sector disclosed that the Dapo Abiodun administration had instructed parents to pay the examination fees for their wards.

These funds were expected to be forwarded to WAEC by the state government. However, it remains uncertain whether the state’s failure to remit these funds is the cause of the result seizure.

 

The situation has heightened concern among parents, who fear that their children’s academic progress and future opportunities could be compromised. The WASSCE results are crucial for candidates seeking admission into higher education institutions.

Attempts to reach the Ogun State Commissioner for Education and Strategy, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, for comment were unsuccessful, with calls to his line unanswered.

 

The silence from the government has intensified anxiety among the affected families, who are calling for urgent intervention to release the withheld results.
