The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has refuted claims that the 2025 English Language paper of the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates has been cancelled.
A widely circulated press release dated May 30, 2025, alleged that the May 28 English Language exam was annulled and would be rescheduled. However, WAEC has described the statement as false and the handiwork of “mischief-makers.”
In an official statement released on Tuesday, the council clarified that the purported press release did not originate from WAEC.
“The said examination has not been cancelled,” said Moyosola Adesina, Acting Head of Public Affairs. “The management of the West African Examinations Council would like to state that the press release being circulated did not emanate from the council.”
WAEC urged the public to disregard the misinformation and rely only on official channels for updates.
