The Ghanaian National Union of Students (NUGS) is calling for immediate action.
In opposition to a court order requiring the release of the withheld results, WAEC filed a stay of execution at the High Court on Thursday, January 30.
The results of the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) were purportedly withheld because of suspected malpractice, which has caused a great deal of controversy.
“They should release all the results forthwith, within a week. Whatever investigations they are doing they should conclude within a week, because we went to them as far back as January 2, and from January 2 to now is over a month, they should have enough time to appeal all these results by now,” he said on February 4.
During a news conference, Daniel Korley Botchway, president of NUGS, pledged to pursue legal action and hold protests if WAEC did not follow the court ruling within the allotted period.
“They should release it within a week, failing which, we are going to commence a series of protests occupying their offices nationwide. And we’ll make sure that we are going to make it uncomfortable for them. If they cannot do the work, they should inform the government of Ghana, for the government of Ghana to employ a news examination body.”
Additionally, the student union charged that WAEC handled the withheld results unfairly and biasedly.
