WAEC Extends CB-WASSCE Registration Deadline for Private Candidates, Nigerians React
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has extended the registration deadline for the 2025 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates. The announcement was made on Friday, September 5, with the new deadline aimed at allowing intending candidates who have started the registration process to complete it.
The extension has sparked reactions from Nigerians on social media, with many criticizing the examination body for the move. This comes after WAEC faced criticism for temporarily shutting down its result checker website due to technical issues.
The council had previously announced that a majority of candidates who sat for the 2025 examination failed English and Mathematics. WAEC attributed the poor performance to inadequate student preparation and technical glitches.
