WAEC Registrar, Dr Iyi Uwadiae retires

West African Examinations Council WAEC, Registrar at its international office, Dr Iyi Uwadiae, has announced his retirement at the end of his tenure, which ends this month.

Uwadiae told reporters at the WAEC International Office in Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos State, during a tele-conference from Ghana headquarters of the examining body yesterday, that his seven-year tenure (consisting a five-year official tenure and two-year extension) as the 12th registrar of the council, was successful.

Recall that he took over from another Nigerian, Alhaja Mulikat Bello, on October 1, 2012.

He has, however, refused to name his successor.

The outgoing registrar said his successor, who had been appointed, would be named when he assumes office on October 1.

During his tenure, Uwadiae said the council completed its headquarters, which took 15 years to build, in 2016.

The registrar said Liberia fully adopted the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) last year, while the Council increased additional diets of the WASSCE and Basic Education Certificate Examination for private candidates in member-countries.

To prevent examination malpractice and leakages, the Registrar said the Council acquired facilities to print in-house.

On the use of technology, Uwadiae said the Council under him used software and various gadgets to prevent and check examination malpractices. (Dailypost)
