The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reaffirmed its commitment to preserving the integrity of its assessment processes and safeguarding the interests of every candidate, and advised the general public to refrain from unverified social media speculation.
Moyosola Adesina, the head of public affairs at WAEC, Yaba, Lagos, made this known on Thursday, in a statement on behalf of the head of national office.
“The council has observed with concern the recent wave of public commentary, particularly from content creators and social media commentators, questioning the accuracy and credibility of the recently released results of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School Candidates, 2026.
“While the council welcomes constructive scrutiny as part of its accountability to candidates, parents, schools, and the wider public, it wishes to state unequivocally that this year’s results were produced through the same rigorous, transparent, and quality-assured processes that have guided the Council’s operations for decades,” the statement read in part.
Besides, the council explained that the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2026, was conducted strictly in line with WAEC’s established standard operational procedures and in keeping with relevant educational policies in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Education.
