There are strong indications that the Kano State Government has reached an agreement with the Governing Boards of West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and National Examinations Council (NECO) to release the withheld results of students of public schools in the state this week.

Hajiya Hadiza Habib, Deputy Director, Public Relations Department of the state Ministry of Education in a statement stated that the state was aware of the plight of candidates in accessing their results.

She appealed to both parents and students to remain calm and law-abiding, saying that the anxiety already created by the inability to access SSCE results of their wards is understandable.

It said, “The Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Malam Danlami Garba, has appealed to affected parents and students to exercise patience as effort is being made to release the results.”

It would be recalled that WAEC which released the result of its examination recently, had up till now not released the results of all public schools in debtor states.

The development has also affected students who paid for themselves the examination fees through the state government.

Since then, agitations and tension had continued to rise in the affected debtor states that cut across the country.

Meanwhile, the Ekti State government basking in the euphoria of best performance in the National Examination Council (NECO) result released on Saturday said it was deserved and earned.

Addressing a news conference in Ado-Ekiti over the weekend, Mr. Jide Egunjobi, the state Commissioner for Education, said that the feat resulted from some radical measures taken by the government.

He said that the steps, though painful were meant to change the face of education in the state, including the cancellation of free WAEC and NECO registration fees for students.

He recalled that the emergency Education Summit convened by the Mr. Ayo Fayose, the state governor, shortly after inauguration revealed that payment of examination fees by past administrations was part of the indulgences responsible for past failures.

He added that though the decision to cancel the fee was painful initially, the state’s best performance among the 36 states of the federation showed that discipline and hard work had paid off.

Speaking further on the 96.31 per cent recorded by the state, he stated that the feat would be celebrated “in grand style” by the government to serve as impetus to teachers and students, and would be maintained for a long time.
