WAEC De-Recognises 61 Secondary Schools In Kogi

Sixty-one (61) secondary schools in Kogi have been de-recognised by the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) over examination malpractices.

The Kogi State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Hon. Wemi Jones, disclosed this during the inauguration of the distribution of free Chemistry and Physics textbooks to 95 public school students in Kogi West Senatorial district at Saint Augustine College Kabba.

He threatened heavy sanctions on any school and principal involved in any form of examination malpractice in the state.

The Commissioner lamented that WAEC officials forwarded a letter to his office intimating to the ministry that 61 secondary schools were grossly involved in examination malpractices in the 2022 examination.

“This, I am not going to let it go. We are going to sanction any principal found wanting in this unwholesome behaviour trying to tarnish the good image and reputation we have built in examination conduct in the state.

“The ministry of education will set up a committee that will investigate the involvement of principals in this disgraceful act before we sanction appropriately to serve as a deterrent to others.

”The state government can not be investing hugely in the education sector then somebody somewhere will be sabotaging our efforts

“We are aware that when WAEC charged registration fees of N23,000, principals charged over N40,000 “logistics” involved indulging in examination malpractices.

”We are not unaware, we will curb the situation by sanctioning whoever is found wanting in the act according to the 2020 Kogi State Educational Law.

”We will kill ‘miracles centers’ in Kogi, we will halt all forms of examination malpractices, and some erring schools would be closed down,” the commissioners warned.

He, therefore warned all schools’ principals in the state against involvement in any form of examination malpractices, saying defaulters would face heavy sanctions according to the state’s education law.

Jones also frown on the existence of illegal private tertiary institutions in the state and assured that very soon the ministry would clamp down on them.
