The Federal Ministry of Education has called on the general public to disregard a false and misleading statement circulating online, alleging the cancellation of the 2025 WAEC Examinations due to widespread examination malpractice.
The Ministry in a statement categorically disassociate itself from this fake news and clarifying that 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.
The ongoing NECO Examinations are progressing smoothly, and as of this release, no cases of examination malpractice have been reported.
It said the 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 therefore urges students, parents, school administrators, and the general public to disregard the fake press release currently in circulation as it is entirely fabricated, misleading, and intended to cause unnecessary panic and confusion.
It advised the public to always seek information only from verified and credible sources, including the official website of the Federal Ministry of Education: www.education.gov.ng.
