WAEC Seize Cross River 2014 Result Over N300million Accumulated Debt

All is not well presently with the education sector in Cross River State as the West African Examination Council, WAEC is yet to release the May/June 2014 result of all public secondary schools in the state to the State Ministry of Education.

Investigation by CrossRiverWatch revealed that the state government payment of WAEC fees for indigent students in public secondary schools ‎in the state ran into hitches from 2013 but the examination body released the 2013 result on special recognition with a proviso not to release this year’s result should the state default.

Further checks also revealed that the amount owed by the state government was in excess of N300million for 2013 and 2014 WAEC examination fees which the state has been paying since 2008.

CrossRiverWatch had recently reported that Cross River State is broke due to inability of government to pay staff and political office holders imprest now for four months.

Different projects of the government are also suffering due to lack of funds.

A top government official who did not want his name mentioned due to the sensitive nature of the matter said: “The state owes WAEC that is why our children who did the exam in public schools are yet to collect their result.

“I gathered that the WAEC management insists that if the government doesn’t pay it will not release the result because that of 2013 is still pending.

“Cross River State Government as part of its educational development policy pays WAEC examination fees for all the indigent students since 2008.”

CrossRiverWatch checks at WAEC office along the Highway in Calabar also confirmed the debt. A senior staff of the Council who also did not want to be named because he is not authorized to speak on the matter told our reporter that: “Cross River State results are ready like results for all other states of the federation. It is true that the Council has not released the results for Cross River because of accumulated debts in excess of N300million. We cannot release the result until the monies are paid. The state defaulted last year with a promise to pay and up till now, they have not paid for last year.

“So we cannot allow any further accumulation of the money and withholding these results is the best option for us to get our payment. But I must assure you that discussions are ongoing with the relevant authorities to see how we get over the impasse because we also understand the anxiety this may be creating for the young students.”

Several calls to the State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Offiong Offiong were not taken and a text message seeking clarification on the matter was also not responded to at the time of filing this report.

Earnestly, it is a sad news over this WAEC not being release for the young student(s) in Cross River State, especially those seeking for admission into the higher institution. Should i say our government(s) are not capable or what? Yes! there are not capable to manage our state. We need a change of government(s) in Cross River State. Please WAEC, have mercy over the young student(s) who might need their result for one purpose or the other, just release the result to enable our young talented student(s) forward their education. Thank you Sir/Ma.

It is with deep regrets I came from Cross River State, after that God has so blessed the state among other states, but seems we not existing in Nigeria.
Quite setting, I wrote my WAEC in the year 2005, which after it was said, the 2005 WAEC result was withheld in Cross River State but released in other states of the federation according to my findings, and I have to revisit the secondary school after Five (5) years for another seating because of lack of fund, imagined the time I have wasted in my life to get only WAEC. I say to the state Educational officers and even the (GOVERNOR) who would have looked back from his past to compare the present, why (DEMORALIZED) the young people of Cross River State.
During my research on the internet know what is really happening in Cross River State, I came across this page which after reading through I became ashamed to prove myself a crosiverian.
My Word: If God could make Liyel Imoke the GOVERNOR of cross river state, i have hope that I will serve my generation without passing through the academic system in Cross River.

So many times i think of establishing in my state (Cross River) but when i think of the backwardness in cross river especially on the side of Education i call on God to make me survive any were i find myself.

Young boys & girls of cross river, don’t give up in God even though they is no hope of tomorrow on the government of cross river. Above all, don’t be aggressive to this kind of discouraging situation believe in God and also in yourself knowing that power can change hand. Will you rule well if you are opportune to rule, join me to say that (CROSS RIVER STATE WILL BE A BETTER PLACE SOME DAY)contribute to this challenge by just praying that WAEC will see reasons to help the young ones so that cross river state will become a better and conducive place for Nigerian.

I don’t know why you guys should be surprised about what is happening concerning seizure of waec public schools results by waec board in cross river state. A man that was in posed on the people of cross river state by president obasanjo. Even when he was involved in embezzlement of billions of naira as a minister of power.

I wonder why the nigeria media didn’t see anything bad to write about state government failure to pay waec board for exam fees since waec released may / june 2014 result. Which have make it impossible for Public schools in cross river state to access their result up till now. Rather, they are busy writing about Rotimi Ameichi and Goodluck Jonathan 2015. What a shame?

I was keeping queit with the hope that the challenge will resolve in no less time but to my greatest surprise it is still lingering. I understand the linear resources the goverment can boost of for now but i appeal to the goverment to resolve the challenge because it is embarasing for one to write an exam and at the end no result. We the youths are not happy for the sad development.
