WAEC Exams For 2020 Not Cancelled
“Our attention has been drawn to a fake publication circulating in the social media, to the effect that the West African Examinations Council had cancelled the 2020 WASSCE for school candidates as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and was, therefore, set to refund N22,500 to candidates who had enrolled for the examination.
Mr Patrick Areghan
“The publication is patently false and deceitful. It is nothing but the handiwork of mischief-makers, who are out to defraud innocent and unsuspecting candidates and their parents/guardians.
Mr Patrick Areghan
“This piece of news is certainly not from the West African Examinations Council, WAEC. It falls short of the Council’s style, language and factual details. They got it all wrong.
Mr Patrick Areghan
“The examination was supposed to start in Nigeria on April 6, 2020 and not April 15, 2020, as stated by the authors.
Mr Patrick Areghan
“The examination fee is N13,950 only, not N22,500. It is, therefore, not reasonable to refund candidates an amount higher than what they had paid to register for the examination.
Mr Patrick Areghan
“WAEC, as an examining body in the sub-region, has not announced the cancellation of the 2020 WASSCE; it only announced a postponement until normalcy restored.
Mr Patrick Areghan
“WAEC couldn’t have made a mistake in the full meaning of its acronym.”

Mr Patrick Areghan
“Candidates are, therefore, advised to disregard the publication and concentrate on studying hard for the examination.” WAEC Exams For 2020 Not Cancelled
