In a recent development, NN News Media has reached out to the West African Examination Council (WAEC), Nigeria branch, to address the growing concerns surrounding the removal of a video that showcased the educational accomplishments of Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra state and the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election.
During the correspondence, NN News Media verified that the X (Twitter) handle @waecnigeria indeed belongs to the official WAEC account. The inquiry then delved into the fate of the video that had previously highlighted Peter Obi’s achievements as governor when Anambra state became number one top-ranking state in WAEC and NECO examinations.
Despite the efforts made by NN News Media, WAEC remained unable to provide a clear explanation for the deletion of the video. The council’s representative stated that they did not have an answer to the question, leaving the public with unanswered questions and growing concerns.
In light of the significant public interest in this matter, NN News Media pressed further, seeking clarity on who could furnish the necessary information regarding the missing video. However, the attempts to seek additional details were met with silence, as the call was abruptly disconnected, and subsequent efforts to reconnect with WAEC went unanswered.
This development underscores the pressing need for transparency and accountability within educational institutions like WAEC, especially when it comes to actions that may impact public perception and trust. The removal of the video highlighting Peter Obi’s educational achievements has raised eyebrows, with many Nigerians questioning the council’s impartiality and its adherence to its own mandate.
NN News Media remains committed to closely monitoring this situation and will continue to seek answers on behalf of the Nigerian populace, who deserve a comprehensive and satisfactory response from WAEC regarding the controversial deletion of the video.
