Mr Dandak also explained that WAEC does not have any dealing with State Senior Secondary School Board when it comes to dealing with recruitment of supervisors for their examinations.
” The procedure is a simple one. Nomination forms are sent to public schools through the Ministry Of Education.
This nomination forms are completed by principals of public schools, endorsed by their zonal directors, and submitted to WAEC through the office of the director secondary education, in the Ministry of Education. If he has his facts, he should not be saying it on radio. The relationship between WAEC and the State Government in every state is through the Ministry of Education. And we have followed that in all our dealings with the Ministry of Education ” he stated.
