The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has debunked circulating claims that the results of some schools from the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) have been cancelled.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Moyosola Adesina, Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, described the viral messages as entirely false and without any basis from credible sources.
“Kindly ignore any message listing schools whose results were supposedly cancelled,” Adesina advised.
She also refuted the claim that WAEC had requested some examination centres to submit candidates’ scripts directly to its offices.
“WAEC will never ask any centre to bring scripts of candidates to the office; all scripts remain under strict custody throughout the marking and investigation process,” she clarified.
Adesina further urged candidates, parents, and school officials to be cautious and to verify information before acting on it.
She warned against relying on social media or unverified platforms for news concerning WAEC examinations.
“Do not accept any message that is not on our handles and accredited media,” she said.
WAEC stressed that all public announcements are made only via its verified social media pages and accredited news outlets.
“WAEC is calling on the public to stay informed through trusted sources,” Adesina added.
Reaffirming the Council’s commitment to due process and transparency, WAEC encouraged the public to report suspicious messages or misleading sources.
The body also assured candidates awaiting their results that any delays or ongoing investigations are being managed with fairness and professionalism.
