The West African Examination Council has honoured an 18-year-old Nigerian, Chinasa Isabella Nweze, who emerged as the West Africa overall best candidate in the 2021 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) with distinctions in eight subjects.
She won the first prize in the International Excellence Award Winners for the WASSCE for School candidates, 2022 category and National Distinction/Merit Award Winners for 2022 WASSCE category, while another Nigerian, Godswill Izuchukwu Edeani, emerged 3rd best candidate in West Africa.
The second prize was clinched by Brako Kwame Asante from Ghana.
President Muhammadu Buhari who was excited by the excellent performance of the two candidates from Nigeria, coming top in West Africa in 2022 WASSCE, presented the awards to them during the opening ceremony of the WAEC 70th Annual Council meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
Buhari who was represented by the Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, insisted that the war on examination malpractices must not only be stepped up, it must also be won.
He congratulated WAEC for its principled stand against examination malpractice, saying this agrees totally with the government’s anti-corruption policy.
