The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria, has firmly refuted circulating rumors suggesting the cancellation of the 2025 English Language paper in the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates.
In a statement issued by Moyosola Adesina, ANIPR , Acting Head of Public Affairs, on behalf of the Head of National Office, WAEC clarified that the alleged press release, dated Friday, May 30, 2025, is entirely fictitious and did not originate from the Council.
The misleading notice, which has been shared widely across social media platforms, falsely claimed that the English Language paper taken on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, had been cancelled and would be rescheduled. WAEC has confirmed that no such cancellation has occurred.
The Council believes the misinformation is the work of individuals intent on discrediting its reputation and stirring confusion and anxiety among candidates who sat for the exam.
WAEC emphasized that all official communication from the Council is published exclusively through its verified social media accounts and accredited media outlets across the country. Furthermore, any genuine press release is issued and signed by the Public Affairs Department on behalf of the Head of National Office.
As it marks 73 years of consistent service, WAEC expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their continued trust and reaffirmed its commitment to delivering innovative, transparent, and high quality examination services to Nigerian students.
