The Head of the Nigeria National Office of the West African Examinations Council, Amos Dangut, on Thursday, asserted that there was no leakage of question papers in the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination despite hitches that trailed the conduct of the examination in parts of the country.
In the recently concluded examination, candidates sitting Mathematics and Agricultural Science papers in several states were forced to sit their examinations late into the evening due to delays in the delivery of question papers and answer booklets.
WAEC subsequently attributed the delayed conduct of the papers to a combination of logistical and operational challenges that followed a fatal road accident on the Gombe-Yola highway that claimed the lives of three of its officials.
Dangut spoke during a visit of the delegation of the national leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, led by its Secretary General, Oladimeji Uthman, to the council’s headquarters, Yaba, Lagos, on Thursday.
Speaking, Dangut said, despite security, logistics and other operational challenges experienced during the examination, the integrity of the exercise was not compromised.
