“Government has now fully settled all its financial obligations to WAEC. Candidates who have sat for the examinations in public schools can commence checking their results online as from Friday, the 12th of August, 2022.

“In-line with the resettlement efforts of the Borno State Government, I wish to appeal to WAEC to consider extending the 2023 WASSCE to eight (8) Local Government Areas namely; Damboa, Gwoza, Ngala, Dikwa, Mafa, Monguno, Gubio and Mobbar. This is necessary because, students (Boys/Girls) from these locations face serious challenges coming and staying in Boarding Schools for at least three (3) Months in Maiduguri.

“The resultant effects of this include overcrowding in the host schools and its associated problems. We shall work together to put in place modalities for the conduct of the examinations in the eight (8) Local government areas.”

He commended stakeholders in the education sector in Chibok and Kaga for their perseverance, logistics and security support without which the conduct of the 2022 examinations in their various local government areas would not have been possible.

He also commended the stakeholders from Ngala for the care given to their students who happened to be the best-behaved students in the 2022 examinations within Maiduguri metropolis.

He appreciated all school principals, who have adhered to the examination quota and called on those who registered external candidates merely for profit-making to desist from doing so forthwith, adding that government will pay a total of N671,036,225 this year for the three examinations; WASSCE, SSCE, and NABTEB, which is a significant increase of 61.5 per cent as compared with the last year’s total examination bill of N412,394,510.

In his response, the zonal deputy Registrar, WAEC, Maiduguri, Zakari Yau, acknowledged receiving the money from Borno State government and promised that students’ results would be released within 48 hours.
