The West African Examinations Council has denied cancelling the 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examination for school candidates.

The Head of National Office, WAEC, Nigeria, Mr Patrick Areghan, in a statement on Sunday urged Nigerians to disregard the fake publication circulating on social media.

He said, “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 conduct of the WASSCE for school candidates, 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and was, therefore, set to refund the sum of N22,500.00 to candidates who had enrolled for the examination.
