The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has retorted saying that the West African Senior School Certificate Examination for school candidates 2020 has not been cancelled as earlier claimed by some social media posts.
The Council is also not set to refund a sum of N22,500 to candidates for cancelling the examination.
WAEC’s Head of National Office, Mr. Patrick Areghan in a statement declared that the Council had only postponed the examination because of the coronavirus pandemic and would reschedule once the public health scare goes away.
The HNO also said contrary to the report, the Council charges N13,950 for the examination and not N22,500.
The Council also used the medium to reassure all registered candidates, schools and other stakeholders that once the situation returns to normal, the Council will come up with a new International Timetable for the conduct of the examination in the West African sub-region, after due consultations with relevant stakeholders. Candidates are, therefore, advised to disregard the publication and concentrate on studying hard for the examination.
