The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has firmly denied claims circulating on social media suggesting the sudden cancellation of the 2025 WASSCE (West African Senior School Certificate Examination). The Council branded the reports as false, misleading, and intended to create panic among students and parents.

🧾 What the Rumour Said

• A viral press statement claimed that the Federal Ministry of Education, in partnership with WAEC, had voided the entire 2025 WASSCE.
• The alleged reason: widespread exam malpractice, question paper leakages, and illicit online sharing of exam content.

📢 WAEC’s Official Response

On Sunday, July 20, WAEC’s Acting Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina, issued a clear and unambiguous rebuttal:

• The 2025 WASSCE has not been cancelled.
• The marking of exam scripts has been completed, and results are scheduled for release on or before August 4, 2025.
• WAEC confirmed the false statement originated from unknown “mischief‑makers” and urged the public to rely only on verified channels.

Trusted Channels to Watch

WAEC reminded the public that only official announcements will come via:

• Verified WAEC social media accounts
• Accredited national media outlets
• Official releases from its Public Affairs Department

With over two million students awaiting WASSCE results (en.wikipedia.org), fake news like this can cause unnecessary stress and confusion. WAEC’s clarification helps calm nerves and underscores the importance of trusting official sources.
