The West African Examination Council (WAEC), Nigeria has refuted a purported press release dated Friday, 30th May 2025, spreading across various social media platforms that the English Language paper written on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, in the ongoing WASSCE for School Candidates, 2025 has been cancelled and a new date for the conduct of the examination will be announced soon.
In a press release by the WAEC Public Affairs Department and signed by the Acting Head, Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina on Tuesday, the management of the West African Examinations Council stated that the press release being circulated did not emanate from the Council.
“The said examination has not been cancelled. Although the source of that information cannot be ascertained yet, 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 for candidates who sat the examination.”
“The Council would like to use this avenue to inform the general public and all stakeholders that pieces of information from the Council are disseminated via our official and verified social media handles, as well as accredited media platforms across the country.
