NUGS to protest WAEC over withheld WASSCE results on February 25

The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has announced a demonstration on February 25, 2025, to protest against the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) over the cancellation and withholding of results for some 2024 WASSCE candidates.

In a statement issued on February 18, NUGS accused WAEC of abusing its discretionary powers and called for urgent intervention to ensure fairness in the assessment process.

The union has notified the Greater Accra Regional Police Command and urged students, parents, and stakeholders to join the protest.

NUGS emphasized that the delay in releasing results has prevented many students from securing admission into public universities, adding pressure on WAEC to resolve the matter swiftly and prevent future occurrences.
