No leakage in 2026 WASSCE despite hitches – WAEC

The Head of the Nigeria National Office of the West African Examinations Council, Amos Dangut, stated that there was no leakage of question papers in the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), despite logistical issues faced in some regions. Candidates in Mathematics and Agricultural Science had to stay past evening due to delays in receiving exam materials. These delays were linked to a fatal road accident on the Gombe-Yola highway that killed three WAEC officials. Dangut emphasized that enhanced cyber monitoring significantly reduced malpractice and prevented leaks, citing stakeholder feedback. He also noted that late candidate registration, caused by curriculum changes, contributed to preparation challenges, and announced plans to extend registration periods for future exams.
