Students Task Dangut On WAEC Appointment

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged the new WAEC registrar and chief executive officer of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Dr Amos Josiah Dangut to use his new position to deepen innovation, strengthen examination credibility and promote fairness in the examination system.

Describing the appointment as well-deserved, citing his years of service in a message signed by its secretary general, Comrade Oladimeji Uthman, NANS said the appointment was a significant recognition of Dangut’s contributions to educational assessment and development in Nigeria and across the West African sub-region.

“We particularly urge you to use this new platform to deepen innovation, strengthen examination credibility, promote fairness and ensure that the interests and aspirations of millions of students across the sub-region remain central to WAEC’s operations,” the statement said.

The association expressed confidence that Dangut’s experience, institutional knowledge and commitment to excellence would further strengthen WAEC and enhance Nigeria’s standing within the West African education community.
