PRESS RELEASE

RE: DELAYED CONDUCT OF MATHEMATICS AND AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE PAPERS IN THE ONGOING WASSCE FOR SCHOOL CANDIDATES, 2026 IN SOME CENTRES


The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has received with deep concern the reports concerning the delayed conduct of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in some centres. 

Upon receipt of the reports, preliminary investigations immediately commenced to ascertain the cause(s) in order to address them and forestall a recurrence for the rest of the duration of the examination. It is therefore necessary to inform our valued Stakeholders of our findings and the steps taken so far to ensure that the incident of delayed conduct does not occur for the rest of the conduct of the examination. The delay was caused by a combination of logistical and operational challenges, notably; the direct result of a devastating motor accident on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, which tragically claimed the lives of three of our dedicated personnel who were transporting sensitive examination materials interstate. This heartbreaking loss, coupled with prevailing regional security challenges, severely compromised our distribution schedule, which inadvertently led to the delayed start times. 

While we mourned our fallen colleagues, our team of indefatigable staff worked around the clock to deploy emergency contingency measures to ensure that the examination was still conducted in the areas affected. 

Other factors include the issues of finalizing the mode of conduct of the examination and the subsequent late registration of candidates, which affected the timely preparation of examination materials. 

Security challenges which led to mass protests against the abduction of school children also affected the timely distribution of examination materials in spite of the Council’s best efforts. 


The Council hereby assures the general public that it has put modalities in place to ensure that the rest of the examination is conducted hitch-free as observed from the conduct of the examination on Friday June 5, 2026.

The Council has enjoyed the massive support and cooperation of its Stakeholders which include the Federal and State Ministries of Education, the Nigeria Police and other security agencies who have remained worthy partners in the course of WAEC’s delivery on its mandate. 

WAEC remains unwavering in its commitment to maintaining the academic credibility and administrative integrity for which it is widely reputed. 

Thank you.
