WAEC To Increase Examiners Allowances

[Shola Sholaz]

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) will soon approve new allowances for examiners toward the fulfillment of the council's mandate.
.
This was disclosed by the Head of National Office (HNO) of the examination body, Dr Charles Eguridu, who was speaking against the backdrop of claims by some examiners that the council was not paying them allowances that were commensurate with the volume of work they did.
.
"We at WAEC laud our examiners for their commitment, sacrifice, support and contribution to the overall work of the council. The work they actually do is of high value to us and they are one of our critical stakeholders.
.
"We appreciate their contributions a lot and wish that we have all the monies to express this appreciation in the much they deserve. But the fees we charge are highly subsidised by government.
