The West Africa Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) has been slated to commence on May 16, 2022, across centers in all states of the federation.
This was announced by the Head of the National Office of the West African Examination Council (WAEC), Patrick Arhegan in Lagos on Monday.
Arhegan disclosed that a total of One Million, Six Hundred and Seven Thousand, Nine Hundred and Seventy-Five (1,607,975) candidates from Twenty Thousand, Two Hundred and Twenty One, (20,221) schools have registered for the examination.
According to him, the number of successfully registered students was the highest entry so far in the history of the examination.
He stated that due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2021 examination sessions, the examination body has made good efforts to ensure the successful conduct of this year’s examination.
Arhegan added that WAEC has made available its e-learning portal to assist candidates with e-learning materials urging students to shun examination malpractice.
“WAEC has e-learning portal to equip the students with the necessary requirements and expectations needed to write and pass their examinations. Candidates should visit https://WAEConline.org.ng to access the portal.
“Parents are hereby warned to desist from patronizing these evil-doers who are hell-bent on frustrating the efforts of WAEC. They should not patronize them as that would only lead to the destruction of their children’s destiny. Meanwhile, we shall, as usual work hand-in-hand with the Nigeria Police to bring perpetrators to book. There will be no hiding place for them. Perpetrators will surely face the full wrath of the law,” he added.
