NUGS to sue WAEC over withheld WASSCE results
The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has announced plans to take legal action against the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) over its decision to withhold results and release them only after university admissions have closed.
On Monday, February 17, NUGS formally notified the Greater Accra Regional Police Command of its intention to stage a protest, demanding justice for affected students whose results have either been withheld or canceled.
Speaking to Citi News, NUGS President Daniel Korley Botchway stated that the union seeks to expose what it describes as an abuse of power by WAEC through the protest and will subsequently pursue legal action.
“We seek to bring home the minds of Ghanaians to the abuse of power and discretionary power of WAEC that what they have done is an injustice and that it should not happen again.
“Beyond this demonstration, it will not end there. We are also going to proceed to go to court. Admissions have closed. And so we are also going to get a declaration from the court to make sure that this doesn’t happen next year.”
