The council�s Head of National Office, Mr. Tunde Oloyede, said in Lagos that 1,052,672 candidates sat for the examination in 36 states and Abuja, adding that out of the number, 1,001,289candidates representing 95.12 per cent had their results released in full while 51,383 representing 4.88 per cent had part of their results released. Oloyede said 102,315 candidates representing 9.72 per cent had their results withheld over alleged involvement in various forms of examination malpractices. He said reports on the level of candidates� involvement are being compiled for presentation to the Nigerian Examination Committee of the council that would consider the reports and make recommendations to the council whether to cancel or release them. The WAEC boss advised candidates to check their results at the WAEC direct on-line website with their scratch cards as from today. He said WAEC would soon introduce the on-line sale registration for its examinations, saying details of the on-line registration would soon be made public. The Daily Independent had exclusively reported that WAEC would begin the sale of its forms on-line as from thecommencement of sale of forms for the 2005 May/June SSCE that is due to beginearly next month. Oloyede said the on-line sale registration would revolutionise the enrolment of candidates for any WAEC examination, as the process would become stress free and error free, saying that capturing of data accurately from the registration stage would definitely obviate most of the queries that arise during the conduct of examination. He said candidates that were displaced during the communal crisis in Plateau and Benue states would be allowed to register for the examination in the 2005 SSCE free since the cause of the crisis was not their fault.
