Ekiti State Government has described as untrue rumour trending on social media that the failure of the present administration to pay WAEC fee was responsible for the delay in accessing the results of the examination by students in the state.
The Commissioner for Information and Values Orientation, Mr Akin Omole made this clarification while addressing newsmen in Ado Ekiti,
Mr Omole explained that the little delay experienced by the student was as a result of poor internet services on the website of the examination body and not the inability of government to pay WAEC fee as being speculated.
The commissioner appealed to members of the public to disregard such fake news being circulated by the oppositions.
He advised the opposition parties not to always play politics with every issue, saying that there are better things to be done than being petty.
“Issues that are of serious concern to the people of the state should not be politicized. If issues are Political, fine, it can be given political touch and not the ones that are of great concern to the people “, Omole said.
Mr Omole urged members of the public to always get news from credible sources rather than platforms where the news could plunge the society into confusion and crisis.
Also reacting, the president, All Nigerian Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools, ANCOPPS, Mr Victor Amele said the students have been accessing the results of the examination, saying that any delay being experienced in some quarters can be attributed to network issues.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ekiti state through its Publicity Secretary Mr Raphael Adeyanju and a former Governor’s aide, Mr Lere Olayinka have recently taken to social media alleging that the inability of the state government to pay WAEC fees of the students was responsible for the delay experienced in accessing their results.
