The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has stated that the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has the right to stage a demonstration over the withholding of some 2024 WASSCE results.
NUGS has announced plans to protest on Tuesday, February 25, in response to WAEC’s decision to withhold the results of certain candidates.
Speaking to Citi News, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, acknowledged the union’s right to protest but insisted that the council is operating within its mandate.
“NUGS has the constitutional right to demonstrate against whatever they feel. But in our press conference, we indicated clearly that no single staff of the council unilaterally decides to withhold results or to cancel results.
“Whenever we have to make decisions, we refer those decisions to the appropriate committees of the council, and that is what we have been doing over the years. And so I would say that we have not arbitrarily been unjust to anybody as far as our operations are concerned.”
