GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that the West African Examinations Council, WAEC, has dismissed claims that it has cancelled the English Language paper written on May 28.
Recalls that there was widespread confusion across different examination centres as candidates sitting for the senior school certificate examination, SSCE, organised by WAEC faced hours-long delays before writing the English Language paper.
At some centres, the exam scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. did not start until late at night, forcing students to reportedly rely on torchlights and phone flashlights to read and answer the question papers.
The council said it got hints of a paper leak, thus moving quickly to protect the integrity of its examination by taking immediate measures.
However, in a statement yesterday, Moyosola Adesina, the acting Head of Public Affairs, denounced a press release, dated Friday, May 30, which claimed that WAEC had cancelled the English Language paper and that a new date would be announced for its resit.
“The attention of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Nigeria, has been drawn to a purported press release by the council, spreading across various social media platforms.
“According to the press release, dated Friday, May 30, 2025, ‘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’.
“The management of the West African Examinations Council would like to state 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 statement partly read.
This is coming after Head of the national office of the West African Examinations Council, WAEC, Amos Dangut, recently said the exams conducted late at night in some parts of the country did not meet the council’s standards.
