The controversy began when the Minister of Education announced that the 2024 WASSCE results would be released by December 29. However, WAEC disputed this claim, stating that additional funding was required to facilitate the processing of results.

An investigation by the MoE revealed that WAEC had indeed received a significant payment, which was acknowledged in an official letter. Despite this, the WAEC PRO denied receiving the payment, sparking confusion and concern among stakeholders.

The MoE has emphasized the need for accurate communication and transparency in public statements. The Ministry’s spokesperson noted that verifying facts is crucial to maintaining trust and credibility, particularly in institutions responsible for public education.

In light of this incident, the MoE has reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with WAEC to ensure the successful release of the 2024 WASSCE results. The Ministry has urged the public to rely on official communication channels for accurate information and to remain calm as the results are being processed.
