Abuja, Nigeria — July 20, 2025
The Federal Ministry of Education has officially dismissed circulating reports claiming that the 2025 WAEC Examinations were cancelled due to widespread examination malpractice. In a press release issued on Sunday, the Ministry described the reports as “entirely fabricated, misleading, and intended to cause unnecessary panic and confusion.”
According to the statement, the 2025 WAEC Examinations have been successfully concluded, with only a few isolated incidents of malpractice, all of which were promptly addressed by the relevant authorities.
Furthermore, the Ministry confirmed that the ongoing NECO Examinations are progressing smoothly and, as of the time of the release, no cases of malpractice had been reported.
“The Federal Ministry of Education has not received any official communication or report from WAEC, NECO, or any examination body regarding widespread malpractice in either of the examinations,” the statement clarified.
The Ministry urged students, parents, school administrators, and the public to disregard the fake news and seek information only from verified sources. Official websites provided for accurate updates include:
- Federal Ministry of Education: www.education.gov.ng
- WAEC: www.waecnigeria.org
- NECO: www.neco.gov.ng
This clarification comes amidst growing concern online over unverified claims suggesting a potential national scandal involving the integrity of this year’s school-leaving examinations.
