The ministry of education has dismissed claims circulating online about the cancellation of the 2025 West African Examinations Council (WAEC) examinations.
In a press release on Sunday, the ministry labeled the
statement as “false and misleading,” urging the public to disregard it.
The ministry said the 2025 WAEC examinations have been
“successfully concluded” with only a few isolated incidents of malpractice that
were promptly addressed.
It also stated that the ongoing National Examinations
Council (NECO) examinations are progressing smoothly, with no reported cases of
malpractice as of the time of the release.
“The federal ministry of education has not received any
official communication or report from WAEC, NECO, or any examination body
regarding widespread malpractice in either of the examinations,” the statement
read.
The ministry advised students, parents, school
administrators, and the general public to “disregard the fake press release
currently in circulation,” describing it as “entirely fabricated, misleading,
and intended to cause unnecessary panic and confusion.”
The public is urged to seek information only from verified
sources, including the official websites of the federal ministry of education
(www.education.gov.ng), WAEC (www.waecnigeria.org), and NECO (www.neco.gov.ng),
as well as other reputable media outlets.
The ministry said it is commited to upholding the integrity
and credibility of all public examinations, vowing to work with examination
bodies to strengthen monitoring and enforcement.
It also warned that individuals found spreading false
information would be reported to security agencies for investigation and
prosecution.
