Restitution: Over 200 ‘Born - Again’ Christians Return Our Certificates Every Year –WAEC

The return of certificates of the West African Examination Council by individuals who have found Jesus, known as ‘born-again’ Christians, is common in the offices of the examination body.

Our correspondent gathered that 15 individuals, who cheated when they sat for the examination in different years, recently approached WAEC as restitution to return their certificates.

Myschool correspondent also learnt that not only is restitution that involves the return of WAEC certificates by born-again Christians common, the body has files for such requests as it is almost a routine exercise.

In a report presented before the 56th meeting of the Nigeria Examination Council in Lagos in November 2013, WAEC reported 256 cases of restitution for certificate cancellation approval by the council.

Deputy Director, Public Affairs, WAEC, Mr. Yusuf Ari, said the 256 cases were just the ones the examination body got between April and November 2013.

He said, “The NEC, which is the highest policy making body of WAEC, which deliberates on everything that has to do with examination, meets twice in a year – April and November.

“We report cases of restitution at every meeting of the NEC. The 256 we reported at the 56th meeting in November is the number of restitution cases we got since the last meeting in April. So you can imagine how many cases we get every year.

“It is a routine matter here. It is very common to get requests from such born-again Christians, who are usually from a particular pentecostal church I won’t like to name. The individuals come to our office or write letters. Some of those who come even start crying. They say they cheated and they have decided to return their certificates because they are now born-again.”

But our correspondent learnt through another source at WAEC that most of
