During the meetings, candidates will be given an opportunity to respond to the allegations against them and provide written statements in the presence of their guardians. WAEC has emphasised that these interactions are conducted transparently and fairly, dismissing claims by some parents that candidates are being coerced or intimidated into writing statements.
The Council has therefore appealed to all affected candidates and their guardians to cooperate with the ongoing process to ensure swift resolution of the matter.
