The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), has confirmed the 2022 performance by State flying around to be false and incorrect.
Mr. Patrick Areghan, Head of National Office for WAEC, refuted the fake story and said it was incorrect, misleading, and the work of troublemakers.
Areghan said that the information did not originate from the council in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos.
“We learned from certain social media that the West African Examination Council (WAEC) graded each state’s performance in our most recent West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
“It 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.
“The 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.
“I 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.
“We, as WAEC, do not do state ranking. We only indicate number of credits in subjects and other categories.
“We do not dabble into areas that are not part of our duty as council,” the WAEC boss said.
He urged the public to disregard the ranking, noting that it was false.
