"I want to thank WAEC, for holding forte these years and for dishing out human capitals into the five member countries which are involved in WAEC.

"I want to thank  the Head of the Nigeria National Office of the West African Examination Council,  Mr. Patrick Ehidiamen for his stellar administration in the conduct of credible examinations in Nigeria and appealed to WAEC to look into some of their laws. 

"In our fight to sanitize our society, in our fight to produce human capitals who are useful at home and exportable abroad, in our efforts to produce whole human beings capable of contributing to the development of our society, we appeal to WAEC to look into some of their laws and give a human face to punishments."
