Mr Patrick Areghan, WAEC\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> Head of National Office, dismissed the claims, which he described as misleading, false and the handiwork of mischief maker.<\/p>\n

Areghan, in\u00a0 an interview with our correspondent on Saturday in Lagos, said that the report did not emanate from the council.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe read from some social media that WAEC has rated performance of states in our recent West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), presumably the 2022 examination<\/a> for school candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt ranked Kebbi as being 20th out of the 37 ranked states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in the public school-based performance data, supposedly made available by council.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe malicious report rated Enugu as being first, followed by Edo and Benue, with 93.9, 93.5 and 91.7 per cent respectively among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to say here that the ranking is completely false as it did not emanate from council, because there are many other things to be considered to arrive at such percentage and this is not part of our job.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, as WAEC, do not do state ranking. We only indicate number of credits in subjects and other categories.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not dabble into areas that are not part of our duty as council,\u201d the WAEC boss said.<\/p>\n

He urged the public to disregard the ranking, noting that it was false.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
