The West African Examination Council, WAEC, and the Nigeria Postal Services, NIPOST have collaborated to discharge examination documents across the 36 States of the federation, including Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This was disclosed in Abuja during the visit of the Head of National Office, WAEC, Patrick Areghan, to the Postmaster-General of the Federation, NIPOST, Adebayo Adewusi, in Abuja.
Confirming this, the General Manager, Corporation Communications, NIPOST, Franklin Alao, said in a statement that WAEC has collaborated with NIPOST in the area of logistics.
Areghan said such logistics would mean using NIPOST locked up vans to deliver WAEC documents, as he also spoke on collaborating with postal agency for the delivery of certificates.
This, according to the WAEC chief, would afford candidates who sat for examinations in the past but had yet to collect their certificates the opportunity to easily apply for the certificates.
He said based on the collaboration such candidates would get their documents with ease wherever they reside with the aid of NIPOST delivery services.
Areghan particularly laid emphasis on collaborating with NIPOST in Cross River State where he said WAEC office was recently burnt by hoodlums protesting during the #EndSARS mayhem in Calabar.
In his response, Adewusi assured his guest that NIPOST would support the examination council.
“Despite our challenges, we would make available all assistance we can to support you,” he stated.
The statement stated that to achieve this synergy, a six-man ad-hoc committee was set up to work out details of the collaboration.
