The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has refuted comments credited to its Registrar, Dr. Iyi Uwadiae, that the council will give the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, a free form to rewrite her O’Level Mathematics paper.
The story was an alleged reaction of Uwadiae to claims by Mrs. Adeosun that the council made N16 billion on sale of forms, and got N6 billion subvention from the Federal Government, which she added up to N24 billion instead of N22 billion.
In a statement, the Head, Public Affairs Department, WAEC Headquarters, Accra Ghana, Mr. Abiodun Aduloju, noted that the story, which has been circulating online, was false.
He said Uwadiae, who works at the WAEC Headquarters in Ghana, did not grant any interview.
The statement said: “The publication is worrisome and embarrassing to WAEC, as the registrar did not make the statement credited to him and could not have responded as purported to an allegation in which the name of his organisation was not mentioned. The registrar does not reside in Nigeria and has not granted a press interview or engaged in an informal chat with any Nigerian media representative or authorised anyone to speak on his behalf concerning the minister’s statement.”
