The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has hinted on the date for the release of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The Council in a press release signed by Acting Head, Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina debunked a press statement alleging the cancellation of all the papers written during the just concluded WASSCE for School Candidates, 2025, adding that marking of scripts of the said examination has just been concluded and results will be released on or before Monday, August 4, 2025.
“The press statement dated Saturday, July 19th, 2025, being circulated on social media platforms that the Federal Ministry of Education in collaboration with WAEC had canceled the said examination due to widespread of examination malpractice, coordinated leakage of questions papers, and unauthorized digital dissemination of exam materials is false.

“The WAEC Management would like to state unequivocally that the spurious Press Statement being circulated did not emanate from the Council. The said examination has not been cancelled,” she explained.
She said: “Though the source of that information cannot be ascertained, the Council is certain that the false claim is being peddled by mischief-makers who are bent on bringing the Council to disrepute to cause confusion and panic among candidates who sat the examination.
“As a matter of fact, the marking of scripts of the said examination has just been concluded and results will be released on or before Monday, August 4, 2025.
“The Council would like to use this opportunity to inform the general public and all stakeholders that all information from the Council are disseminated via our official and verified social media handles, as well as accredited media platforms across the country.
“In the same vein, all press releases are issued and signed by the Public Affairs Department of the Council on behalf of the Head of National Office. We therefore, urge our stakeholders and the general public to disregard the said publication,” she added.
