Minister of State for Education, Barrister Nyesom Wike, who invited the WAEC boss to Abuja to explain the circumstances leading to the release of conflicting results, was unhappy that the development threw candidates who sat for the SSCE into a state of confusion last weekend.
Dr. Uwadiae, who accepted responsibility for the mix up, however told the Minister that a panel has been set up to investigate the issue, describing the mistake as "human error."
It is recalled that WAEC had released the first result on August 10, where it said only 472,906 candidates representing 31 per cent obtained five credits including Mathematics and English.
However, Dr. Iyi Uwadiae, said another result that was not "quality checked by the Quality Control Department" was released on its website on August 26.
He denied claims that the system was hacked, just as he explained that it was not a deliberate act by WAEC.
I hear you Dr Iyi Uwadiae, with the amount of staff you have, you still gave room for human error. Human error indeed! Imagine the psychological effect on those students. There really is no excuse for that error, careless is the word that comes to mind right now, it sounds better to me than so called human error . I was wondering if any of the candidates can sue them for damages......just thinking sha.
