WAEC Denies Fake Site Offering Online Classes To Candidates

The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has denied its affiliation to a website advertising online classes for prospective candidates of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The exam body further stated that it has only one official e-learning portal for candidates seeking instructions and recommendations on examination questions, adding that the unknown website may be targeted at capturing the personal information of unsuspecting persons.

This was revealed on Wednesday in a statement signed by the council’s acting head of public affairs, Moyosola Adesina.

The statement partly read, “The attention of the West African Examination Council has been drawn to a website purporting to offer online classes for prospective WASSCE candidates.

“We want to state that the Nigeria National Office of the West African Examination Council has no affiliation or connection with the site.”

The statement added that “for candidates seeking instructions and recommendations on approaching and tackling examination questions, they should visit the council’s e-learning portal” for “accurate and reliable information.”
