In 1974, Liberia was admitted as the fifth member of the Council. The Jeffrey Report, which firmly backed the idea of creating a regional examining board to harmonise and standardise pre-university evaluation processes across what was then British West Africa, served as the foundation for the Ordinances’ passage.
