The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Education, has denied planning to cancel the 2025 WAEC and NECO examinations.

This was contained in a statement by the Director of Press in the Ministry, Mrs. Folasade Boriowo, on Sunday in Abuja.

She said it was necessary that the Ministry categorically distance itself from the fake news and clarify to the general public.

According to her, the 2025 WAEC Examinations have been successfully concluded, with only a few isolated incidents of malpractice reported, all of which were promptly addressed by the relevant authorities.

She added that the Ministry had not received any official communication or report from WAEC, NECO, or any examination body regarding widespread malpractice in either of the examinations.

“It is entirely fabricated, misleading, and intended to cause unnecessary panic and confusion.

“The public is advised to seek information only from verified and credible sources, including the official website of the Federal Ministry of Education: www.education.gov.ng,” she added.

Other official websites for verification are: www.waecnigeria.org, www.neco.gov.ng.

She explained that the Ministry remains fully committed to upholding the integrity, credibility, and orderly conduct of all public examinations and would continue working closely with examination bodies to strengthen monitoring and enforcement mechanisms.

She added that anyone found spreading false information would be reported to the appropriate security agencies for investigation and prosecution.
